Maybe the microswitch is stuck - you'll probably have to take apart the center console completely ... not much work if you know what to do
Can take a look in Bitburg next month ...
Apart from that, it's only like 2 screws for the small insert (7mm screws underneath the coin holder) and a couple plugs, then another 4 10mm screws (one on each side in the foot area in the front another two inside the center box), tricky part is to disengage the e-brake in order for it to come up far enough - you need a long flat head screwdriver to stick in underneath the e-brake, that way it will not engage when you pull it up, and you can set it up straight ... it's easy to pull the center console after that ... the switch is all the way in front IIRC ... can't miss it ...
