    ok then either come over here and prove the manual wrong (because I'm having trouble working around it) or tell me how to undo the connector...

    try a little screwdriver, not to pry but just to maybe push in any locking tabs it may have. Never seen that particular connector but those little screwdrivers help with a bunch of tricky connectors.

    yeah, thats what i've been trying, but i'm not sure where/how to push, press, clinch or squeez. :-/

    I just seem to be doing a good job of mangling the plastic plug and its still not loose. I haven't hated a connector this much since I replaced a couple of Ford turn-signal assemblies in the steering columns...

    Finally!

    Mangulated the damn thing, but got it off.

    ....if anyone remembers me complaining about an in-cabin smell, i think i just found it...
