Front Impact Sensor

since it is bad and now broken, take the harness off and smack it with hammer till it comes out of the slot, no need to try and do it gracefully now, nor pay someone else to do the same thing.

Good idea. I’ll try that.

if you cant fit a hammer up in there just use a chisel or long screw driver or something of that nature if it breaks into pieces in the process no biggie just that much easier

Hi, I know this is an old post. How did you get your ratchet in the small space? I'm having a hard time getting it in to remove the torx head.

I didn’t. My wife hit an animal at 75 and it became part of the claim. Sorry no help.

Broke the tip off. I guess I have to pay someone. It's an E5 torx if anybody tries in the future. I don't know how I could have not broken it. With a 1/4 in drive ratchet I couldn't put much torque on it. And it looks like someone else tried and broke the plastic clip. Bummed.

I know this is on old post , but from what I've read this is a left hand threaded torx bolt. I'm guessing that is why you broke it off...

depends on the year, they changed how it mounts so on the older ones it came off normal from the top/front and on the later years it comes off from the backside/bottom, not sure what year they changed probably 2010
