I need to replace my temperature sensor. Looks pretty straight forward. Sensor right up front on the passenger side.
what am I missing with getting the connector off if it!?
I gently lifted up on the grey catch. And pulled…. Nothing while holding the catch up I put a small flat head screw drive under the connector and twisted …. It lifts up a little then reseats.
is there a trick to it I’m missing? It really shouldn’t take that much force.
I would hate to make a simple, inexpensive relay into a bigger more expensive repair because of a connector.
If you lift up on the tab it should come apart...maybe spray something like WD40 or PB Blaster on the connector...you can buy a pigtail to replace the connector if it breaks...a simple repair.

Thank you. I got it. The orientation of the sensor had the main clip on the back (up against the engine) 180 degrees from the main clip is a smaller grey clip, I guess that holds the fitting together. Once on the right clip it popped right off.
