Only thing I could of is that you could put 12V on the solenoid valve via the fuse panel but don't know if a fuse is available for the front hood.

Re: Power steering pressure line leak - 2 years ago

Pedro, How do you access item 15? From the LF fender liner or do you need to disconnect the line at the rack and pump and pull it out? Also, since the leak is at the coupling can you just replace it instead of the line with coupling or just replace the "O" rings in the coupling? Jerry

Re: Sudden Silent Transmission failure - 3 years ago

Why weren't you able to drive the car with the just the right half shaft connected? Did the transmission think the left half shaft was spinning that wheel and did not apply torque to the right shaft to allow it to move the car?

Re: 30% tread depth formula - 4 years ago

Pedro, What is the PCNA formula? Grant's math = 60% Blackbird's math = 50% What is the PCNA formula and the correct % difference in tread depth on one axle for the values(5mm-3mm) cited?
