Hello all,
My center console lock is not latching. I found that the spring is bent and not able to be used. Any idea where I can get either a replacement lock or spring?

I purchased a kit from https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/ that allowed me (in theory) to use the existing lock with a new fitting (searching for the right term.

However my early TJ must have had a shorter fitting that late model TJ's as the item they sent me was slightly longer but the spring and latch i pulled from their fitting (pops out) and then inserted the spring and latch into my existing fitting, and works great.

Tip - For those with early TJ consoles that have the plastic pop-in screw replacement fittings that makes the console lid wobble - those that have will know what I mean - you can can disassemble the console lid by removing the lock and the five screws and replace the plastic fittings with nuts and bolts - works a treat - will post a photo
