I'm having trouble pulling out the map sensor "holder". I'm talking about what I have in the picture.

I can rotate it 360 degrees without a problem but I can't get it to come out and I don't want to break it. Any suggestions?

Twist and pull at the same time. It should pop right out.

I talked to a buddy of mine who does a lot of this and he said the unit is sonic welded on. But all I did was just pull out the sensor and clean it. He told me it'd break if i tried to remove it. Works for me. It really seems like it should pop out but I don't need to break anything and it was really fighting me so whatever

um, no
ease the clip off and use a flathead to pry it up

Even GM wouldn't sonic weld a sensor onto a major part. It needs to be removable to be replaceable.

Lol at sonic weld a sensor..you just have to be patient and wiggle it while prying it out..mine was out in 5 mins worth of wiggling and pulling..

I don't think you read it. Again i wasn't talking about the sensor (which came out easily) I was talking about the whole round unit. And no it didn't want to easily come out. I also don't think they'd sonic weld it but agree sjsingle hah. I figured it'd make it easier to clean but I'm fine with it.
