Wiring Harness: Service and Repair





REMOVAL





1. Peel the A Pillar grommet (1) off of the connector/retainer and move it up the wire harness.
2. Grasp the wire harness (2) by the convolute section of the grommet and gently pull the wire harness down towards the floor to expose the connector lock tabs.

CAUTION: Do not force the locking tab past the connector body, as damage to the connector may occur.

3. While still pulling down on the harness, use a small slotted screw driver (3) to gently push one of the top lock tabs until the lock feature is flush with the connector/retainer body.
4. Repeat the step 3 for the remaining top lock tab.
5. The connector should now be able to rock out of the sheet metal hole without causing any damage to the connector or sheet metal.
