This really should be a FAQ... Those screws can really screw with ya...........................meh.

Really though, many have been tricked into ripping out the innards of their AFM.

It might be a good idea for the OP to go back and edit the title of the thread to include the problem to make searching easier for the next unfortunate soul.

Good work. Now put the cover back on, LOTS of silicone, and don't pull those screws out again.

If you need to get the plug out again, there is a small metal clip that goes around it. Pull that off, the plug will come right out.

I should have lock tited the SOB's in. Could not find 1 freakin tube of Silicone in tis house that hasn't dried up in the tube. Cover is on tite and I will pick up some automotive grade silicone tomorrrow as I need a can of PB blaster so I can tackle the O2 sensors next. Thanks again.

I'm still going to look for a used AFM just to have incase the solder goes.

fiberboy;
Glad you got it running.

You might also check out this link for your AFM spare; he seems to have a lot of cruisers to part out.

Or, keep your eye on the parts section of IH8MUD, always someone parting out LC's.

Holy S**t it worked. Its running better than ever. Thank you to Jon and ika1988 without you 2 I would have probably had it towed to the dealer. I owe you both a bunch. Thanks Again

You broke it AND you fixed it. How good is that? Take the money saved on a replacement AFM and get a FSM and a EWD for your truck.

Good on you!

I must say I did the exact same thing a couple of weeks ago. I did some searching and soldered the wire back on..


Thank you both as well.

Jon, how do I get my hands on a FSM? Been putting off getting one but after this little fiasco I think its time I just do it.

I'm not Jon, but they regularly pop-up on eBay. I picked mine up a few weeks ago for around $60 in mint condition.
