so i bought grounding kit and unfortuntly cant install it all the way because my engine cover will not come off due to broken bolt on bottom right side. so my question is, since i cant get to the right side is there way i can still have this hooked up for my transmission. i have an auto and mostly got this for better shifts is there anything i can do or are they just useless to me?

There is always a way... Try some vice grips and spin the bolt all the way through?
i cant make the one on the driver side i think there's only one wire going to driver side thats under the engine cover?
and i tried everything that bolt will not come out needs to be drilled off or something theres no way im doing that
So you just leave the broken bolt? It's really quite easy, just buy an ez-out or left handed drill bit. Soak it in pro lube or wd-40 and let it sit a few hours first. If you wanna get rid of the grounding kit, I can help you with that too. :P
i tried to wd 40 it was screwed in ther from factory improperly going sideways. whats easy out ?
To remove broken bolts... Drill a pilot hole in the bolt and then tighten the ez out to the left. When it eventually bites and catches the bolt will turn with the ez-out.
If your still under warranty though you might wanna have them mess with it. I cant see them cross threading the bolt as you are stating though. You buy the car new? Ever had the cover off before?
yea i got the car brand new and no never had it removed before, i tried 2 dealerships they both said they cant because it been tampered with and that typical bull****.

Well then three options: DIY, pay a shop, or leave it. Let us know if you get it.
I installed mine without removing eng cover,no big deal,like BB said,just use upper throttle body bolt (allen) and route wire behind eng cover, secure with wire ties. It can be done,just a little harder, good luck
