Hey all,

Basically im trying to replace the shift solenoid in my 1999 eclipse with 420a motor and auto tranny but the harness has a long mounting bolt going right through it and the effin thing wont screw up or even down??? It just spins to the left or right with decent torque applied.. doesnt spin easily like seen on a broken bolt. I can't pull the harness no matter how much i unbolt that. Wtf?! Why is this happening? Does anyone know how I can solve this? I can't change the damn solenoid now unless someone knows? Picture of harn

For anyone curious reading this, I was able to fix this problem by using a nickel-coated diamond cutting wheel for any standard rotary/dremel tool to cut the head of the harness bolt off. Once you do this, you should be able to simply pull the harness up and out. Just be VERY careful not to cut through the harness's wires that run very close to the bolt's head.

ANOTHER PROBLEM FIXED!!!!!!! WOOOOO! W00T
