Hey fellas. 2004 Rubicon with 35s I just acquired. I have a Speedo Healer for it and I can’t get this unplugged for the life of me. I have completely removed the red locking pin also and still no bueno. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Can't Get This Unplugged
- Thread starter DC0046
- Start date
Spray some electrical cleaner in each connector from various angles before trying to remove. It is gunked up. Then push in on the connector first, then pull (with the tab you press down pressed) and it should come out. If not spray more electrical cleaner.
Dirt is holding it up. Take a small pick and clean the connection area
A heat gun can help get those old connectors apart without breaking them, just heat very carefully so it softens the plastic a bit, you don't want to be melting anything. I started using a heat gun on connectors a few years ago, and on rubber diesel fuel lines, makes them easy to remove and re-install when changing filters. Reduces bloodshed.

Thanks. I wrestled with the dang thing all evening again. I will try a heat gun tomorrow. Appreciate the response
Ouch. I can feel the frustration.
I like the ones that are frozen on and they’re about a possible to see, Do you have to lay on your side and only use one hand. The Joy.
Hang in there brother.

Update! Thanks @B1Toad . Got the heat gun out today and about 45 minutes later got it apart with no melting. Thanks everyone!
OK now break one of the pins, you can’t stop now. Welcome to hell sir.
