I think you slide one of those tiny flat blade screw drivers in there to compress a little tab??? look at it good first if wrong it could brake :skep:

:iagree: The little tiny locking tab is on the "closed" side of the connector. You need something really small to release it like a pick or tiny jeweler's screwdriver. Insert the pick from the wire side and be gentle, the connector will push out the opposite way.
