I’m nervous. But just how nervous should I be about this oil cap looking like this.

Had to have happened last night. Hitting 4-5k rpm before it changes gear unless I let off the gas letting it drop into gear.

I did this a couple years ago. I’ll see if I can find my post...
As a last fitch, I know I can tap a wire. I'm trying to avoid that by using a pin into the back of the MBEC as referenced here: https://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/installing-footwell-lights-in-03.104799/post-5720705 Just no clue how to get the darn blue "TPA" out to allow the pin to insert. Teehee. It's supposed to go in the second from bottom 10th spot over.
Never pulled one from there but others I’ve pulled have a tang that needs to be depressed, just like pulling a pin out. Maybe look at the pin you’re inserting, see where the tang is, and slide a pin removal tool or tiny flat tool into the same place along the TPA.As a last fitch, I know I can tap a wire.

just look down a empty slot you can see where the tab depresses to release the wireAs a last fitch, I know I can tap a wire.

I understood. The Deutsch connectors I use have those. They click into place but if I grab them with a good pair of needle nose pliers and give them a good yank they pull out. I was saying those might have actual locking tangs like the pins themselves, only on the opposite side as the pin. I would try yanking good on one in au unused cavity that you’re not planning on using to see if it comes out. If not you’ll have to use a pin removal tool like I mentioned to remove the TPA or whatever its called. Maybe use better needle nose pliers.Thanks guys. I'm actually trying to put the pin IN, not remove it. This blue part the arrow points to prevents the pin from inserting. You can see I damaged it a little fiddling with it. When that part is removed, it allows the pin to insert. Then it slides over the top of the pin to keep it in place. It won't push left out of the way to allow the pin to go in. But I think the only way to do that is to remove the entire white plug but I have no effing clue how to do that. That screw won't come all the way out.
That’s cold. Brrrrrrr.
I never knew a battery could freeze like that. Are they ruined once they freeze?
If they freeze solid, they can damage the plates and crack the case. Luckily, mine wasn't that bad.
do you park it inside in a garage or outside?
With 3 vehicles and only a 1-stall garage, the Yukon and Dakota stay out in the driveway while the Passat gets the garage.
I was wondering and wondering if a decent sized reptile warming pad placed under the engine compartment would make enough heat to keep the battery from freezing.
