Infuriating Electrical Connector - dapleb - 01-08-2022

I may have mentioned before how massively irritating I find most electrical problems....such complex problems as releasing some wires from a connection on some spotlights...should be a 2min job/light.........



Does anyone have any clue how any of the wires are supposed to be released from this moronic connector?



I have checked the installation manual for enlite en-dlm982x but it didn't help one bit.



Any ideas pleasey?

Push something into the square hole and pull the cable, it should release it.
And turn the power off first!

Which wires do you want to release?

if it’s the wight ones it’s as Snowbird said

if it’s the brown and blue side just press the “L” & “N” and the earth the wire should just pull out

good luck 

 

ps undo the 

cable clamps

Remember to have a container with an airtight lid at hand to collect the magic smoke

If a hammer don't work it must be an electrical fault...

Thanks very much all. I didn't care which wires as long as they separated.



Pressing the tab

Doohickeys in eventually worked. Had tried that already but not hard enough.

I have a choice on my car (xc70) lower rear subframe after removing everything, there is lots of everything, remove fuel tank, that gives me access to the wiring loom for the height sensor wiring…

Or come up with a fiendish plan/idea to get 3 new connectors onto the unreachable cable.

I am edging towards the latter.
