wtf? Why can't I get the connections

[codyJDM]

For my fan off? I'm sitting there wrestling with them(obviously the wrong way I guess) to unhook them so I can get my radiator out.

Everythings ready to go but those two inconveniently located ****'s. :gun:

Help please, what am I doing wrong? :violin:

Had this same issue with my O2 doing but I just cut the wire, cant do that here.

Use a screw driver and carefully pry the locking tab up and pull on the connector. Those connectors are very stubborn with age.

umm im trying to remember what i did
i had the same issue but i got it off without fn it up
i know theirs only one plug but i think there is another somewhere

[A18A]

its the way the plugs are made, the little tab thingy you have to pull outwards and seperate the plug. i used to have the same trouble with all those round plugs lol

yeah once you learn how they work they will be easy and you will never swear again

x2 no doubt,

all the plugs on these cars are like that, you have to find the tab on them and pull it up then it comes right apart.

[ghettogeddy]

if you cant get them just say fit vut them and go buy some watter proof plugs
simple install to lol

yep....

[codyJDM]

It was so fucking easy. Lift UP on the tab to slide it out. The fucker slid right out I got sooo mad haha :gun:

Thanks for all the replies though!

Intuition tells you to push the tab down, which is completely ass backwards.
I had the same problem until I pulled the tab up and the damn thing nearly fell out.
I felt like a dumbass.
Glad you got it.

[codyJDM]

I felt retarded as hell. As well as my friend that tried it. Honda being smart, I guess. lol.

[A18A]

haha i remember the first time i tried unplugging them (no i dont actually, but it was before i learnt) i just kept pulling till the spade part of the connector came out of the plastic

i used to grab bother cables and yank till it ripped apart when i was a noob

I've definitely destroyed my fair share of Honda connectors. They like to use complicated catch mechanisms and then hide them in very difficult to reach (or see) places. If they are that difficult to figure out, then the catch should be compromised, in my most humble opinion. I feel the same way about their stupid hose clamps. Those all get snipped, mangled and pitched. Not even worth the bother to try to save them.

i dont remember having problems...just the lower radiator hose was hard to take off.
