Default brake cable connection to ignition switch

What is the secret here on disconnecting it please? I see the black clip and I push it up and it moves a bit but is seems like something else has hold of it inside the switch. I do not want to break it....Any help would be great.

YEP! Turning the switch to the ON/RUN position is the secret to:
1- Removing the brake cable. Just press the release tab on the cable connector.
2- Removing the ignition switch key cylinder Once the key is in ON/RUN, just press the small tab on the side of the cylinder barrel.
