Fortunately, I didn't need to replace the canister. The purge solenoid itself is seated in the back (rear-bumper side) of the canister and pulls out. My mistake was ordering a Dorman-brand replacement instead of an OEM replacement from Ford. I couldn't get it to seat properly.

Greetings. I ended up having to remove the canister itself for better access. The replacement solenoid would not fit no matter what I tried. Turns out the problem was indeed the purge valve assembly in the engine bay and not the solenoid in the canister. Lesson learned.

That was the recommended fix from my reader. I should have listened to my gut and gone with the purge valve assembly first.

It's odd because nothing's engaging (and I've tried replacing the old component without any luck). I'm hoping I just need to get a better angle on it.

I'm getting the P0456 code. Here's the component: I just can't get it seated properly in the canister even when twisting in reverse of the way I removed it.

Thanks much! Yeah, I've tried the guidance from ChatGPT and Google's AI overview. For some reason, I just can't seem to align the valve while applying pressure so it locks into place in the canister. Frustrating.

I'm replacing the vapor canister vent solenoid on my 2022 Ford Bronco Sport 1.5 L Outer Banks, and I cannot get it "seated" back into the carbon canister. Nothing is clicking it back into place, so the component is just placed loosely in the canister. Any guidance? .
