ECU conector

Alohaaaaa · 02-12-2014, 11:04 PM

So you know how in the JB4 install video they tell you NOT to re-install the ECU sub harness connector without the clips? Well mine popped out right as I was installing it. And now the stupid thing wont come back off. Im speculating it's now permanently attached! Which is ok, but I forgot to put my SLD in. And when I sell the car some day I'd like to pull the JB4.

So, has anyone had this happen? How do you remove the connector to re-insert the clip?

on the top side there are little teeny holes that you stick a small screw drive into

Really? I tried and there was nothing to engage in the hole.

Your talking about once it's off the DmE or while it's still on.
You click hose holes (there are 2 per side. Pretty sure you so the ones closest to the outside) once it's off. If it's still stuck on then something is wrong you just slide the slider off

Still on. The slider is completely out. The connector is directly on the ecu and will not pull off.
