How to Remove this Connector from Clockspring?
I'm trying to remove the airbag/horn wiring harness that sticks out of the bottom of the clockspring, and goes through the steering wheel.

I am deleting my airbag and horns so I would rather just unplug this harness from the clockspring and clear up the wiring clutter inside the steering wheel.

My question is, I can't seem to remove this small black connector and I don't want to yank on it. Is there another way or trick to remove it?



Thanks

Except it is, for some reaason... I still haven't been able to remove it. Only pulling on it doesn't work, and I can't see any locking tab to depress or anything. I feel like I'm going to snap it off the clockspring entirely if I keep yanking.

This is the connection you need to jump to turn your airbag lamp off, I had the same problem on my own but decided to just cut and wire them together

I took a dremel to mine about 2 hours ago lol. Cut the entire connector flat with the clockspring to mount my efini wheel. Worked great
