Hi All,

I've got the CAN Bus gateway connector unplugged. But I cannot for the life of me work out how to remove it from the housing. Trying to locate pin 6, I would use the colouring system but theres a few other cables which are orange/brown.

There is a tab on one of the sides. Lift up slightly then slide the main connector.

Hmm, no cigar. I see the tab and I've tried sliding something underneath it to lift it up (its the smaller bit of the tab?, it wiggles but cant seem to release it.

It's as advised you just need to with a small pic tool to adjust the holding tab so it releases & slides out.

WD40, not advisable at all

This is the wrong end, the other end of the connector has the tab you need to lift
