Im trying to replace my kickdown solenoid in 03 Buick Rendezvous. Is there anywhere I can go online to get detailed instructions? Or can you help me with this? I really do not want to have to take it to a mechanic unless it has to be. Im a do it myself kind of man. Thanks

There is nothing called a "kickdown solenoid" in that transmission. Have you had this diagnosed professionally?

That solenoid is internal to the transmission in a place where you can get into a lot of trouble. I don't recommend you try this yourself. Besides, you haven't even had it diagnosed yet. The code doesn't tell you what caused the problem. It merely records data and the technician has to determine the actual problem. This could just as easily be a problem with wiring, control module, valve body or even the torque converter itself.
