Hello! So I have to change an actuator in my 2012 300S and I can't seem to find any documentation for my vehicle. Everything I see shows it is as easy as removing the glove box door and replacing the part. My car actually has a back panel part to the glove box I need to remove. Long story short, I got it off but I have a few questions for anyone who can help out.

1) Does anyone know of any manuals or documentation that shows how to get to the actuator in a 2012 300S? I fear I can't reverse my steps to get everything back in place.
2) Does anyone know what type of screw is used to mount the actuator? I tried 2 different Philips heads and one seemed too small, and the other (next size up) too big. Gonna get my phone in there tomorrow it take a picture, but if anyone knows that could save me a bunch of time.

Thanks in advance

 

Check this video,



At minutes 5:15 - 7:00, he talks about T15 bit on a 90-degree rachet.

 

Thank you!! I did try a T15 last night, but I guess I didn't quite line it up right before giving up. That video was great! I didn't think a video for a Charger would have been closer to my car's layout than other videos of 300's. Actuator is in, lost one screw, glove box doesn't look like it closes right on one side, but there is no more clicking and I got everything back in place. Success!

 

Yup 300s and Chargers are two cousins carrying similar DNA.
Glad problem solved,
For the glove box, try to drop it, take a closer look at the back of the box, anything in the way? reinstall while watching out for alignment on both sides.
Good luck

 

Isn't YouTube wonderful ? I can't count the number of times it has helped me out.

Mind you, there are 2 dumb asses for every ace - there's that.
