If the sensor is so deeply embedded that replacing it requires the entire tailgate to be replaced then the sensor is certainly protected adequately to prevent being damaged by a bump on the head. Simply opening and closing the tailgate would impart far greater trauma on that little sensor.
The woman should be looking elsewhere for the source of her problem.

took it to the dealer to be replaced, asked if it was a common ailment, as he deemed it suspect, and the only response was "merry christmas" as they were replacing it for free.
anyone else heard of this happening?
closely it looks like it broke on the bottom .Would it be adviseable to glue that portion
back on .also I tried to remove the 3 screws on the bottom of the mirror and I just
couldn;t any help on that or any advice I would appreciate .....
fwiw, I dropped a canoe on my driver's side mirror and glued the housing back together. That usually lasts two or three years until I have to reglue it.
I don't know why the bolts won't come off.
Mine looked a lot like that, but the three bolts holding mine on just backed right out. The glue (epoxy) works ok but I don't try to fold the mirror housing back and forth anymore. The connections for the power and heat still work on the mirror too. (Mine's a Nissan btw).
Have any of you Element owners taken your mirrors off?
what got broken. And I was able to suceed in removing the 2 screws the last one
I am having hard time. I just stripped the screw and you can imagine what I was saying......
My point: Did you ever discover what was causing this problem? Is your car still doing it?
Anything you can tell me/us will certainly help as we make a one-hour trip to the dealer and try to convince him that this stalling is not imaginary.
Thanks in advance!
I think I have found a suitable replacement part to my failed pump. Access to the old one is daunting if not impossible. How to I gain access to the old one so I can replace with the new?
Thanks,

Here's just the text:
1) Remove the front bumper (are you freakin' kidding me!).
See FRONT BUMPER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.
2) Disconnect the washer tubes (A).
3) Disconnect the 2P connectors (B) from the washer motors (C) and the washer fluid level switch (D) (Canada).
4) Remove the three mounting bolts and washer reservoir (A).
5) Install in the reverse order of removal. Make sure the washer motors operate properly.
This is from the '04 manual...the '03 is pretty much identical (I have one of each)

1) Remove the right inner fender.
2) Disconnect the 2P connectors (A) from the washer motors.

Anyone else have these happen too?

Thanks for the replies. I am sorry it has been so long for me to get back to you to thank you for the info. Based upon what I could see and rooting around the pump, I figured the bumper removal was not required. I can't imagine getting the inner fender out being too difficult, although it may be tedious. Again, I really appreciate the response.
Thanks,
Greg
I did take to the Honda dealership. They did an idle learn procedure, whatever that is.That was $30.00. That fixed the problem. They told me if the problem persists, the throttle body woul have to be replaced. After about 6 weeks it started doing it again, but it is intermittent. If I turn on the A/C it will come out of park. For the last 10 days or so, it has been working fine, A/C on or not.I bought it used, and fortunately purchased a 100k / 5yr warranty. I have not yet taken it back to the dealership, so I don't know how much the throttle body replacement cost. The guy at the Honda dealership said something about a recall for this problem. If that is the case, it might not cost you anything. If you don't know, there is a lockout bypass switch.There is a little plastic tab on the shift console. Take a small screwdriver and pop out the tab. Stick the screwdriver in the hole and push down on it, and it will come out of park, strange huh? Hope this was helpful. Good luck, and let me know how it turns out. I love my short bus! :shades:
Park brake is off.
Can someone please let Me know if I am on the wrong path!
I was under the impression that headlights where not on any type of fuse that could go on you and leave you in the dark going down the road at night. . But a breaker that would reset ,giving you some light to get off the road with. Seeing that the lights are not flashing I am thinking the light switch . As I said before, I am not sure.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE
