Ignition Switch

Help, what is the secret to getting the connector off of the Ignition Switch? Do I need to pull the cluster out to get to this or is there a tool to release the latches that seem to be on either side of the connector?

Does anyone know how the two Ignition wires are routed in a 64 convertible I think the problem is the Ignition wire to the ballast resistor. There are two wires that come off the Ignition Switch terminal one to the ballast and one to the Accessory fuse block I think.

Thanks
Chris
