Hmmm, they are *VERY* prone to failure.  Can you feel the latch kicking in when you press it?

Put something thin between the ashtray and upper part of instrument pannel and try to move it through that small line gap.
It could be that the ashtray poped up while closed and is now blocked.

PS.  One on my rear is stuck solid also ?????????? :o :o :o :o :o
