No probs with mine but I can say from experience that if you had the console out, it is real easy to NOT get the connector back in place. The manual release is a pull wire by the rear driver's side wheel hump. If not visible, then it is probably been tucked under the carpet.
I have two problems with mine, one when I forgot to plug the harness back in after a shifter install and two, I have to use it all to often to put over overpriced gas in the tank.
I had pulled into the petrol/gas station and the door would not open so I used the manual release, I will check the release switch over the weekend from my trusty GM service manuals I just received in the mail this week.
Brilliant set of books!!
