Gutting a low range lock-out solenoid.

the last time i tried reaching the solenoid we were on the trail so im sure it will be easier, brighter and more comfortable to do it in my driveway tomorrow so hopefully i can get in there and reach it with a small 1/4" ratchet

This may seem pretty obvious but I had success by going from side to side also. At times it was easier to work from the driver's side then at other times it was easier to be working from the pass side.
Apparently you have been in there before so you probably know the drill and wouldn't do anything dumb like re-assemble everything only to find you have left the heat ducts on the floor behind the front seats. NOT that that happened to me or anything...just sayin'. ;-)

there is no way. just no freakin way to get that thru the console. i tried from pass and driver sides two of the bolts are easy but i had it down to the back corner bolt and there was just no way. maybe i if i had a 3/8" universal but even then i think it might be near impossible. i did notice that it sits alot closer to the pass side seat rails then i thought it had so even with the panel that one back corner bolt will be hard but not impossible at least with an access panel i will be able to get a ratchet in there and have it horizontal.

Maybe your body is much closer to the frame than mine is...like too many Dukes of Hazzard manuevers! Seriously, I just did not have those kind of problems at all. The bolt you are referring to was the most difficult but once my ratchet came in contact with the underbody, I was able to get it out the rest of the way with just my fingers.
Time for the sawzall I guess! In the end your access panel will likely pay off as many times as you have been in there. Now you will be looking for excuses to open it up and take a look around!

I got to wondering about what you said regarding the wires and began to wonder, if they are still connected, you are going to have 12 volts applied, are they insulated or disconnected to prevent a possible problem?
I would not want to be putting 12 volts to ground with a hot wire.
