EXCELLENT VIDEO! 99% of videos tell you every detail of a repair that you can figure out yourself. The ONLY thing they don't show you is how to disconnect wire connectors. You can't see them, can barely reach them, they are old and VERY delicate, brittle & fragile! they are not replaceable...but they leave YOU to trial & error... And breakage!!! 🤬

This video is one of the most underrated videos ever. lol. I always pulled the tab "out" but always never realized to push in the middle tab to disconnect. Great video, thank you!

Every connector is different and each one has it's own special trick to disconnect it. This is why I usually destroy them. This is also why I have to drink beer in the morning.

Just saved my life, Pal. Wish I'd found this earlier though, my thumb wouldn't be bleeding so much

Wow, this video is just what the doctor ordered. I am sure I would have broken a few plastic tabs before I figured out these locking connectors. Thanks so much for this video with clear and good photography too

Thanks for a great selection of different types of disconnect mechanisms. These are always a pain, because no matter how many you come across, I always seem to find another type. When they are difficult to see, and must be done by feel only, they can drive me nuts. I have one right now, on my Land Rover LR2's throttle body, that has held me up for an hour. Hopefully it is similar to the throttle body you show here... we will see.

BTW there is another one I came across on this job that I had never seen before: A wire "bail". It didn't pivot, pull out, snap off... you actually had to push it IN to release it... totally counter-intuitive. I think there is a special branch of automotive engineering just for these mechanisms, in which only the most insidious and cruel minds are employed.

Thanks for making this video, wrecking a connector can cause misery, to get a replacement connector can cause misery, thanks for saving misery.

Thank you so much for this video on how to disconnect electrical connectors… It’s such a simple topic, but I struggled for over an hour with a tail light wiring harness clip that I could not get off until you showed very clearly where to depress that plug to pull it out.

Mom is considering going to Florida for a party she really doesn’t think I’ll do whatever I can to stop her thank your for this information

YAY!!!! Now I won't break the tabs on my connectors. Great video!!! Thanks for sharing 🙏.

Super simple fix (2 bolts & 3 clips) to take the passenger seat out of the Chevy Spark, but an hour on Google gave us no leads on how to remove the last connector. And then of course, 60 seconds into your video there was the answer : Push it in!

[hughrdof]

Wow, finally, somebody 'splained how to deal with that connector at approx. .40. Thank you! I've been putzing around cars for decades; my late father-in-law even was a chevy mechanic, and yet I am embarrassed I had no idea how to release miserable connectors like this, the easy way! Single most valuable youtube now in my arsenal.

[robertbanks]

You helped a lot. Thanks. I haven't seen a better video yet. You actually made those damn connections look a little less scary.

[mauriziodisciullo]

YOU ARE I've been trying to figure out that POS connector for an THANK YOU!!!!
