how do i contact customer service and is that the only way i get a refund I'm not upset with yall im sure you could have stepped me threw the process however i was excpecting somthing differnt i did not need help troubleshooting i just needed a better manuel and i thought that what this site would quickly provide me by the time yall would have gotten it to me is pointless considering i already have the part off...and yes i spoke with man at the chevy and he gave me a print out on how to reinstall it correctly and test....but thanks for trying just not what i had in mind.
