Default Fvck Fvck Fvck

I've been struggling trying to install my hoen bulbs and I was resting my flashlight on the engine cover my hand slipped and the flashlight fell. So now i still don't have my bulbs in and theres a flashlight in my engine!!! This sucks...How can I get the flashlight out? is there any dangers with having a flashlight in the engine...I don't think its touching anything but you never know.

its pretty small...its just as long as a screwdriver just wider but its right underneath the block so its not exactly accessable...

Default if it's resting on the skid plate then you can just go in reverse and slam on your brakes....

just make sure that thing isn't sitting on or near any moving parts. I've done this with screw driver's I've dropped into the engine bay, but I could see them sitting on the skid plate.

If it isn't sitting on the skid plate, take a stick and knock it down onto the skid plate.
