It's accessible if you jack up the car. I won't say it's easily accessible, but then nothing is easily accessible on our cars. You just have to reach through, around, and over a few obstacles, but it can be done without a great deal of trouble. I don't remember the exact cost, but I think I paid $20-30 or so. I believe I have an extra one at home, that you can use to see if that's the problem. If I do have one, you're welcome to it. I'll try to check tonight, if my feeble mind can remember it.
