    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Good news. Odor has been identified. It was the center console lid, and the inside of it. I took it all apart, and once I got those screws off wow, it absolutely reeks. I soaked it in hot warm water for an hour and it still smells. I ordered a replacement for $60. It's as if the previous owner...

    2005 Yukon XL Denali rear electronic locks not working

    About 95% of time they rear locks don't work when I hit the lock button on the drivers side or on the key fob. Sometimes they do work, but almost never.. The trunk door doesn't lock either. Any ideas?

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    This is a photo of what I think I need to do to access the vent. Pop this whole dash cover up.

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Thanks. I got that main trim piece off no problem, however, there's another 7mm bolt that is hidden behind the main piece of the dash which is holding the vent in. I think maybe I need to pop that up slightly, by removing the screws on the left and right of the car? These ones? And then pull up...

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    If anyone knows what I need to do to remove this vent here so I can clean it out, I'd love to hear how. I removed the five 7mm sockets but don't know how to pop up the dash so I can get it out. Maybe it's the screws on both sides of the car seen here?

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Update: So I managed to get my dash off today. Turns out, I found on the edges of the air vents, some sort of greasy, chemical smelling fragranced cleaner type stuff. I don't know what it is, but it was definitely at one point sprayed in the vents- possibly by whoever detailed the car before...

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Good news. I spent the last 48 hours with the car out in the sun, windows and doors open, and sprayed down the interior with white vinegar multiple times. The smell has noticeably dissipated. I am getting zero odor out of the vents, the remaining lingering smell should be baked out of the car by...

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Here's pics of my center console, if anyone knows how I could remove it, that would be wonderful. I noticed there actually is a slot where you could easily drop something, I wonder if an air freshener or such fell into there.

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    I just thoroughly inspected every crevice under the seats. I see nothing. I wiped every surface down with rubbing alcohol as well to get any residues off. The car, including the leather, really doesn't have much of a smell. It hits you in the face from the drivers seat and the center console...

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Ordered the ozone machine off amazon and the Dorman 259-201. Thanks guys! I'll wait until this smell is taken care of before I saturate my air filter with the fragrance.

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Wonderful. I would definitely like to add one. My moms 02? Suburban I think has one, but her 04 does not. Got any info on how to add one? Thanks!

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Great. I actually had the dealer run this for 30 minutes the day before I got the car. It didn't seem to do much, but now that I have completely steamed/wiped down every surface, and isolated the smell to the area of the center console, I presume that if I ran the machine with the console open...

    05 Denali XL- remove odor coming from center console

    Just picked up my 05 Denali XL. Car is mint, however, there is a lingering chemical/perfumey type odor coming directly from the center console. When I open it it hits you in the face and almost seems like the previous owner spilled some scented chemical in there. It is permeating through the...
