secret compartment, 92 Isuzu Rodeo
 

Hey gang! I am restoring a 92 Isuzu Rodeo. I recently discovered a lockbox in the center console under the plactic tray. I was hoping the ignition key would open the lockbox but it looks like a smaller mailbox-type key is a better fit. My question is: Has anyone else here encountered this problem? Also, What methods have you used to open the compartment short of damaging the lockbox. I know I can hire a locksmith but I am trying to do this on a budget. Thanks in advance and have a great weekend all!

I acquired a 92 Isuzu rodeo a few years ago. While doing some cleaning I came across the same compartment. None of the keys worked that came with car. I was in same boat as you. We ended up destroying the lock to get in. Once you do though you can easily replace the lock.

yes, mine has one too but i was lucky enough for the key to be on top of the box. bought it used guess no one ever found it. im also looking s gear stick 5speed boot. where are you getting your parts
