I am trying to replace the downstream o2 sensor after the catalytic converter on my '01. I tried searching for the answer on here but was unable to find it. I am unable to disconnect the wires because the sensor goes up into the car, and as far as I can tell, this area cannot be removed since it is glued on. How do I do this? Would I be better off splicing the old wires to the new sensor and just replacing it that way?

Thanks

Go inside the car and the connector is underneath the carpet

Thanks, I'll try that. Hopefully I don't destroy the carpet.

I was able to get the job done.

I first disconnected the battery, then removed the driver seat, but I did not disconnect it from the power supply. Then, I removed the center console. From there, I was able to see where the plug was underneath the carpet, and was able to access it. I did not have to remove any carpeting. It was tough getting my hands down there and connecting/disconnecting, but I was successful. One of the benefits to removing the driver seat was being able to vacuum all the Chick Fil A fries that had accumulated in tight spots down there.
