Disconnecting Wiring Harness Connectors

Volkswagen harness connectors used throughout the car are designed to positively lock into place to prevent coming loose. One type, shown in Fig. 3-7, is equipped with an easy disconnect feature. To disconnect this type of connector, press on the wire clip to release the lock and carefully pull the connector loose.
