Default Throttle cable disconnect for Soler Controller

I hate to post that I can not disconnect the throttle wire/connector to the pedal in order to add the Soler controller to my '26. It is kicking my ***!! For the likes of me I do not know what I'm missing but it will not come off. It should be a simple task, watched several videos/posts but nothing. Your help is very much appreciated.
Whats the "black tab" some say needs to be pressed to release, I have that covered I hope which is under the red lock.

I do not have one or put one in but i do recall some one saying they used the connectors on the new controller to figure out the secret to releasing it .
