Can anyone tell me how to disconnect this plug? I have pushed, pulled and tugged but neither the gray plug or the white plug has come apart.

Just lift that little tab there on the male plug at the top until it slips over that ridge on the female plug at the bottom. They can be a PITA but be careful not to break off that tab... I generally try the "lift it just to let it slide over" method instead of trying to pull it up high enough to clear.

You forgot to drop a bunch of f-bombs.

Thanks Jim.....I was on the right idea, just wasn't lifting it enough. And there was a few "f" bombs flying around and not using proper pronouns when referring to the connectors. Thanks again

Yup each connector has a right amount of cuss words before they come of tho the annoying ones is where it needs a specific line of cuss words to come undone those are the tricky ones.

And don't forget to pull those red lock things out too far so they drop down into some greasy bottomless pit.

I am convinced that the engineers that designed the connectors were life time members of the Daily Puzzle Association.
