There's a fuse puller stored in the driver side kick panel.

Crap, really? I'm used to them being attached underneath the fuse box covers in other cars. Eh, it was no biggie.

Oh, and btw, I swear the car started faster with the fuse pulled. Zero delay when I pressed the start button.

cb pull story.
I finally pulled mine. The steering wheel doesn't do its pre-start dance anymore and the car starts with no delay.
I must say getting the fuse box out was more challenging than I had envisioned reading all your posts, but was definitely do-able. Also I broke one of my little plastic trim rivets. and dropped a pocket knife down into my engine bay which came to rest on my lower plastic engine cover. getting that out was harder than the cb pull as I was at a buddies house. (no jack stands to get under there and had to drive around a crappy part of town looking for a high enough curb to prop up a wheel so I could wiggle under the car to unscrew my cover. A couple very helpful prostitutes came up to ask if I was okay and one offered to join me under the car. I don't think she was too good with tools (not the kind I was trying to employ anyhow) so I politely refused, finished my businedd and did my best 0-60 yet departing the area!!!! Woo Hoooo! Personal best 0-60 pull and a successful engine control mod all in one night. |

Another satisfied customer here!
For those of you who haven't done this yet, here are the steps I followed (I'm not sure that they've been put in one place):
So, in summary: 15-20 minutes of your time and one flat blade screwdriver to save $500 - not a bad deal at all! Advice: Put the 10A fuse you removed in a ziplock baggie in the car ("just in case"). In fact, next time I visit the auto parts store I'm going to purchase a few spare 10A and 15A fuses and leave them in the same baggie. Also carry a small flat blade screwdriver in the car in case one of the other fuses blows while you're on the road. HTH! DISCLAIMER: Perform this procedure at your own risk - I accept no responsibility for any damage to you or your car! Last edited by VCuomo; 12-28-2012 at 05:00 AM. |
