Unlock the connector, pull wire out,the little white tab

thanks Smithbusa, although I'm not sure what you mean by the white tab as I can't figure out how to take apart the casing of the connector.
I will look at it as I'm going to the shope now try and work on it agian.

I have done it probably 18,000 times
Tip make sure to look close and visually inspect that you haven't pulled any out

If any are out a bit pushing the clip Back will be hard or impossible
DONT FORCE IT

Thanks for that tip 202

Well thanks to Smithabusa and 202mphbusa for their helpful hints it was really that easy and 202 you were right even if one other wire is out by a little bit the white tab wouldn't go back in.

Thanks again my mind is now at ease (at least on this matter)
