TCU Connectors
Anyone have the right way to disconnect the connectors from the TCU? Got under the dash this evening - no mean feat at my age - found the TCU and then - once I figured out how to get a hand up on the connectors - I couldn't get them to come undone. There seemed to be a release "bar" along one side of the connector that I could push in, but the connectors still wouldn't easily come out, and I didn't want to force the issue at this time.
Suggestions? (UberRoo, I know you know the answer!) -Bill

Lee,
Thanks...now that the car is down for radiator replacement, I've got now reason not to pull hard on the connectors... -Bill

I believe the use of certain 4 letter words seems to help

Little bit of both.
 Wonder if it would be easier to unplug if you unbolt the ECU/TCU and try to remove the assembly to get better access to the plugs?

David,
That's exactly what I was planning on doing (also gives me an excuse to install the Stage 1 chip in my ECU) -Bill

Hi Bill
Oh yeah those connectors are on there tight. I got mine off with help of a small flat blade screw driver. I held the release and then pried along the edge of the connector moving a little bit each time and keeping it even. It was still hard to move. -John

I think you've just convinced me to unbolt the TCU/ECU combo before I try to get the connector out of the TCU -- as hard as it was to get my hands up in there, I can just imagine what fun it would be to add a screwdriver to the mix  -Bill
