Well on my way to work his morning my TCL light & check engine light came on.. the TCL light won't go away this happened while it was raining? Could it be something simple?

Are you able to tell me where i will find this TCL solenoid? Is it something i can just go to a dealer and buy and replace myself? Or is it one of them things that is tricky to get to and replace?

Two solenoids on the firewall, just to the right of the throttlebody.

these easy to replace? and would this cause the check engine light to come on too?

Easy to replace, and yes it will cause the check engine light to come on as well.

You need to have the system scanned, replacing the 2 solonoids is hit and miss as there can be many reasons for this. If you had the ABS light as well in the initial instance I would have told you not to worry about these as they are not the issue. Get a scan, if the ABS is not working nor with the TCL, poss a wheel sensor or the ABS modulator playing up

Ok well seems that when the guys installed my coilovers they happen to forget to tie up my ABS line so as a result of that the ABS line on the right hand side is broken... anyone know how much these are to fix and if its easy? or is it better to take it to someone?

yes, and then make sure it doesn't snag again. Or if you believe it was human caused damage, don't let that human anywhere near your car ever again.lol
