Thanks again. Success, the rubber boot didn't look like it would come off, then the clip was hidden under.

Mine looks like this:
...

Strange, that is the location, but I have a different connector. Mine has a complete rubber boot. On one short side there are ribs molded and on the other side a bump or protrusion, and it feels...

Thanks 9-3 Aero, I see the round protrusion, with a tiny lever or button inside it. So that lifts up in relation to the plug and the who;e thing is supposed to come off?

I trying to replace my Boost Control Valve and I can't get the doggone electrical connector off the top. Is there a trick I don't know?

Thanks. Makes sense. I pulled mine out once to do spark plugs and figured out that silly connector. It is odd the very first time.

Is your car the sedan or wagon? It looks like our cars are...

Ordered a new DIC and just got it.

Seems like i had read an instruction or two for installing it, seems like it shouldn't take much though.

Di-lectric grease and install, right? Had I read...

Alright, and thanks for the help.

I have a 2006 9-5T w Auto trans.
I haven't had a single issue for over a year now. Yesterday, however, I went to start the car, turn the key and it cranks over just fine. Every once in a while it...

Thanks, went to an auto parts store and the battery did indeed test bad.


Replaced the battery and re tested it and their machine said the alternator isn't pushing the voltage it should - bad...

I keep coming back to the battery, thinking through it logically. Hmmm, thanks

Thanks, here is a small update from today, still haven't solved anything
The battery is a 875 CCA Checker Auto Battery, the car is an '06, so I'm assuming it's not more that a year or 2 old. I...

A couple of weeks ago my 2006 9-5 barely made a partial turn with the starter and then just clicked. Effort from the starter, but no good. Jump start and it was fine.
I took the car to Autozone and...

What about the upper radiator hose itself? Any chance that it the source?

Thanks again! Great forum.

Thanks Burnsside 42, I looked up that AC Delco number and couldn't find it, I looked up rockauto also and couldn't find it, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, I had looked but for some reason couldn't find that particular part. The parts side is good news, the drop the tank part is a bit difficult in my garage at home.

Thanks for the help.

What's up with the exchange rate? 80,000 Euro? Isn't that like 85,000 or 90,000 US Dollars? Is it taxes that drive the price...

My 2006 9-5 does the EXACT same thing. I go to an excellent independent when I don't have the tools for something. My wife was in last and asked him, he said he has seen it before and quoted about...

Thanks, you're right. I flew back into town last night and discovered what had happened. I think I was thinking out loud on here, just to be sure.

I have an appt tomorrow for a fluid flush. I...

I just did the CBV, mine was zip tied to ... I think it's wiring harness just under and behind. There was some small unit that clips together w the CBV.

The 3 coolant hoses do a pretty good job...

I just returned from being out of town, while I was gone my son thought our 2006 9-5 needed additional coolant.
Mistakenly he added 50-50 premix antifreeze into the brake fluid reservoir.

What size spark plug socket is that? I have several and they are all too large in outside diameter to fit down the well with the spark plug in.
