Tried the wire method and the plug method. They’re the same thing.

HOWEVER with the unplug, the valve simply got stuck at the halfway mark (half open/closed) and when I plugged it back in, it didn’t move anymore. Didn’t thrown any codes with many visits to the dealer. (By the way I had the plugs completely secured with electrical tape on both the connector and the valve actuator).

So with that said, I manually opened the valve and wired it as in this guide in under 10 minutes. Removing the spring allows you to independently move the valve. Even if you wanted to reinstall the spring, you just need to realign the valve to the actuator.
