Trying to locate a new cup holder. Mine is broken and I don't want to pay dealership prices for a new one. I have checked a few junk yards, but I'm tired of calling around everywhere and not getting anything. Does anyone here have one or know where I could get one?

Go walk through Your Ford on Jefferson off loop 12. They have at least 40-50 99-03 F150's back there. Take yours with you to match color. Ford has half a dozen interior colors.

Do what Terry said, or keep an eye out on ebay. Last year I was selling one of my other trucks and the cup holder was broken. I happened to find one on ebay for 15 dollars in mint condition, same color I needed. It took me a couple weeks but I was able to snag one. Good luck.

Does anyone know how to get the cup holder out without breaking it?

Once you have it pulled all the way out, there are those metal tabs on both sides of the cup holder that have to be pressed in as you pull it out. Mine came out pretty easy but had to wiggle it back and forth a couple times and it came out. Be careful with the wire that connects to it for the light that is inside of it, you have to remove the connector for it once you get the cupholder out, and then connect it to the new one you are putting in. Take your time and dont force anything, it's pretty easy.
