Default TC Electrical Connector

Now I've tangled with a few electrical connectors in my day but the connector for the consul TC button is winning. I'm ready to get medieval on it but since the car is basically new I hate to break something so soon. Anyone know the trick to this fussy clip?

Go to page 5 in this pdf. The TC connector is the most difficult.

If you're installing a radio leave it in and just tilt the cover back. I mean stand it up vertical...(you have to have the hazard and cig lighter unhooked to do this...


All of them are a pain lol...but the TC is the rube Goldberg....And those safety clips. I mean without them you can hardly pry them them apart. lol



good luck.

And if you do try to take it apart, make sure it is warm and not cold...otherwise the little keeper will snap off. Winter is the time when people crack plastic on these cars.
