I was disconnecting the harness from the ecu and tried to unscrew the 10mm bolt holding on the harness and the bolt snapped in half. The harness is still held in by part of the screw...What would be the best option from here as far as getting the rest of the screw out?

go get easy out kit from autozone or whatev. drill hole in w/ drill bit then use easy out. disconnect that battery though. never seen that bolt break before.

make sure that hole you drill is smaller than the easy out. and remember easy out works by turning counter clockwise. good luck with that man.

Hate to be a downer but if that bolt broke, it probably was cross-threaded when it was put in. if that is the case then the ECU is most likely trashed.
