Default How to disconnect A1 rear light connector

Hi All, I have seen a few posts here regarding problems with the earthing of the A1's rear light, causing intermittant and permanent failure of all lights in the cluster.

The answers are helpful but I am unable to carry out the suggested actions as I cannot undo the plug from the wiring harness. Can someone explain how to physically disconnect the wiring? I believe there is a knack to doing this, probably by pushing IN before attempting to pull out, but after two hours I gave up fearing that I'd destroy the plug.

Any help appreciated, perhaps pictures of the connector out of the car, so that I can see how it "clicks" in. Or a Youtube video you may have seen that helps.

Or indeed if the connectors are used on another model, I can search on the appropriate forum

Kindest regards

alex

Default Lever

The taller side looks like a lever and acts like one. Press it down, Compress on the taller part and then pull on it.
