How do you unclip this?

[mijohnst]

I'm having to remove all the wiring around the steering column so I can replace my clockspring harness. I'm down to the last item but I can't figure out how to get it out. It's got a plastic pin that drops into the ignition cylinder and I'm afriad to break it. Is there an easy way to get it out?

Kind of hard to tell if it’s one piece or two from that angle. Have you looked at any diagrams like on rock auto or GM direct? Let’s ask a few others @swathdiver @wjburken @kbuskill @iamdub

Ok, I figured it out for anyone that needs it.

Remove the key alarm connector (1) from the lock module assembly (2) in the following way:
1. Rotate the key alarm connector (1) 90 degrees.
2. Pull the key alarm connector (1) out of the lock module assembly (2).

Also, note that you need to put a little flat screwdriver on the left side to push in a clip before you twist 90 degrees. You can't just twist it.

Lots of good information found here.

ALLDATAdiy would be a great place for you to sign up for a year for $29.95 for your rig. I did and I just got an offer from them to add another year for $14.95. I am going to do it. Your attachment is likely derived from a site like them. Over the years I have used AllData in my shops as well as Mitchell on Demand and now I hear there are many others. Asking here is a great source but that software backup is worth the money.

Plus, when you ask a question you supply pics and great details, so it really helps us.

Hey, thanks for the tip! I will sign up for that. Sounds like it's going to help me with other projects I have lined up. It's been an adventure for sure. lol
