I would just move the AC unit. Take it off the bracket after removing the belt. I'm sure some swivel heads and extensions can reach it, but if it's stuck you'll need to grab it pretty good.

Hopefully you can get it easily! There might be another way by using bladders the locksmiths use if it's frozen. I did it on the trunk of the BMW cause it wouldn't open either of course. I got to upload that video as well! Good luck and hope it's quick and simple!

Just wanted to follow up. I managed to have to do basically exactly what you did, but I was able to use a flat head screw driver and as soon as I put a little pressure on the right spot it popped right open. Thank you again!!

@@Meatpipeify thank you for the reply! Glad you were able to get it! If they would stop making everything plastic and electronic there'd be less issues, but no.

I'd check them all in the box to make sure. Also check the ground clusters on the fender as the center wires can completely let go and the other wires hide it. If they're green pull the fitting off them and redo them.

Might have to get it smoke tested to make sure the lines connected properly and there's no broken lines in the engine. There are other ways to test, but can be dangerous if not done properly, by spraying starter fluid around the vacuum lines, but that is done at your own risk if you don't want to pay to have it smoke tested. Also check the gas cap as the seal and spring can go bad. Sorry I can't help with more. It would be just guessing after and would need hands on to find it.

Haha, I'll take that! Very interesting when people comment on my voice. Some videos they compared it to Morgan Freeman, in others a robot lol.

Glad this helped! Also thank you for letting us know it works on the volt as well!

I'm not sure, should be able to see it if you look under it. I would assume it would be unless they had slight changes during the years. Also can see at the parts store has the same number for the part for those years. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

You're welcome! Glad this helped!

Should be an easy fix! Glad this helped!

It's there a way to reconnect the switch? Usually if you disconnect a battery for 30 minutes to 60 can do it. Sometimes disconnecting both leads with no power going through them and touching them together for about a minute does what some call a soft reset. Always use caution when doing that process. If you can find a salvage yard and get the whole connector and switch. Might be able to find it on Google somewhere.

I'm glad this was able to help!

Best thing is to see what code might be there with a good scanner. Could be multiple things and would mainly be guessing. Some cars vacuum leaks can cause it, while other might be tps, iac, or any extra sensors or solenoids. See if it goes away when you remove the oil cap, but be careful as oil can spray out a little. Also make sure the charging system and battery are good.

Thank you! I'll check those!

I cleared it. Usually after something's fixed the vehicle should shut the light off after a few drive cycles. If not disconnecting the battery should reset it.

Sorry for the delay. It is possible if the wiring in the connector is the same. I'm not sure, but I think most obd1 can be checked the same. Double check that before trying. Sorry it took so long to reply.

Keep an eye out though. Common issue. Glad it was simple though! Congrats as well!

Also check all ground clusters under the hood as well. Visual won't work. You'll have to separate the wires from the connector as they can corrode from the center out and once you spread them you'll see how many start to break off. Good luck!

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive how did you take apart the connector i dont want to damage them

@@salvatrucha777 sorry for the late reply. I just ran the wires up through the old connector since the whole bottom rotted out. I made sure they didn't cross with anything else and put the fuse back in. If it didn't rot out you'll have to get them out and run a slice with a connector that will fit the fuse. Again I apologize for the delay.

Not sure what all uses the same engine, but definitely one of the issues. If the same engine, test out a few things before replacing.

I still have a missing socket and an extension missing somewhere in the engine compartment lol. I've replaced the clutch and cooling fan and never found them yet. Only way to find them is to buy new ones lol. Glad this helped you!

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive haha!

Every exhaust has some drone to it when upgrading. All depends on what sounds you like.

They choose to go out. We don't keep them out there! That flight enclosure is attached to the house and we open the window. They'll usually fly out in the morning to do their bathroom duties and fly back in. When they see it snowing they knock on the window to go out so they can plow through it and try to bring it back in. They usually will be back in within a minute or 2. We know they're tropical, but with many other tropical species they're curious about snow and want to investigate. They'd never stay out there longer than what they're comfortable with and we'd never keep them out there as well!

They love flying outside when it snows. When they get tired they will make that noise until they fall asleep lol.

Not sure I understand that quote. You mean having to shovel snow lol?

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive I mean tropical bird in snow, but they like it

They're not, but they love playing in it.

DUDE I CALLED IT

@@shaniamcgowan9268 i know i just didn’t know he voiced him

Only thing I got was just that quick mention of it. There are a few videos of others removing it. Just a few bolts around the handle, and the rest is held in by plastic clips. Just make sure the switches are disconnected as you'll be tugging good on it being wedged in there. It seems brutal, but I tried everything lol. Last resort compared to taking the door skin off. Hopefully for you it's just a bad cable! Good luck!

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive thanks man, I seem to have got lucky. I wound the window down and managed to get a coat hanger in the window seal and unhook the cable for the outer door handle. Back to square 1 now where I can only use the inside door handle. But that is a million times better than climbing over the passengers seat.

You're welcome! What did you find out?

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive this was the exact problem actually. Just tightened down the bolts again and she’s running great with no noise or check engine light. Getting it inspected Monday wish me luck!

​@magnusclapront947 just a little advice in the future, don't just change parts and hope it fixes it. When something like this wrong you are going to find something that caused the issue like vibration in your suspension can be a ton of things but if you inspect your components you will find something worn, broken or leaking.

@@johngarnica2114 yea replacing the knock sensor only made sense because I knew that knock sensors had a role in valve timing and it sounded like the timing was off so I thought it was a faulty sensor but I should’ve known with a sound that loud that it was something internal. Thanks for the advice!

You can run the wire up through to where the fuse goes and put the fuse in and trim the excess wire, or go to the junk yard and try to find a wire not corroded to use. Just make sure if you run the wire up through to disconnect the battery or make sure the wire doesn't touch anything it shouldn't.

That goes for the pins too.

It's possible. It's one of few things that can do it. If you take the belts off that can also let you know if it's an accessory or pulley as well. Just don't leave it running for too long. I'm sure if you look for valve cover gasket replacement for this vehicle on here you'll find it. Pretty much take the ignition coils off and some clips then the rest is just the bolts. Let me know what you find so things can be documented and help others. If you can try to record your process and upload! Every video, even if the same vehicle can always help someone.

Plus it never hurts replacing the gasket and checking timing on a vehicle. A good visual inspection inside can tell you a lot about your maintenance and fluids you use.

That it was.

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive Oh I bet you didn't know this. He'll be comin to GalaxyCon Richmond next year and I...won't

@@xavierkrantz1098 I did not know. I usually don't look until a month or 2 away to make sure no one has cancelled.

@@SyntheticVisionsAutomotive Oh I see. Well lets just say that they are going to galaxyCon Richmond, sound good?

You're very welcome! Glad to help!

I'm thinking it's the same, but if it's not it should still be pretty similar. 600 is insane! Make sure it's your fan before buying a new one also. You can hook power directly to it to see if it spins. Make sure to have a good grip on it if you decide to test it. There are videos that show the basics of testing that part. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Yes they are the same thanks man they told me it would be around 900 at the dealership you saved me some headache !!
