Definite pain in the arse to get to those connectors. Took me several attempts over multiple days before I finally got them out. Rubicon-X and Mohave-X have an extra black bar that limits access. Maybe a wife or teenager with smaller hands can help do the trick.

All the best. Some pics linked here.

"Got it. Tried with a different shorter length narrow screw driver to hold the tabs in while reaching up with my right hand, pulled on the wires, and they popped right out so easily I was in awe. The longer screw driver kept slipping off the tab when I would reach up in there." That black bar shown in the picture in the linked post really limits access, no way two hands will fit in there.

EDIT to add: Also, take the door connections off so you can open it up wide and have more room to contort yourself to get up under there. A headlamp helps to see what is going on.

And then add extension cables once the connectors are off. . .

Yup….. my husband and I worked on it. My small hands were good to get up in there, but I don’t have enough ‘strength’ to grasp and pull (arthritis in thumbs).
So, with the help of a screwdriver & needle nose pliers….. he got it unplugged.

Nothing is ever easy!!

It has been a couple of years since mine was added but if I rememember correctly, I used a ball point pen to hold the tabs down

finally..... LONG THIN SCREWDRIVER was in my case solution!!!!!

pushing tab with it and pulling cabels gently....

Needle nose pliers worked for me too. Then installed the extension cables.

I'm glad I don't have the bar some of you all have. It takes about 10 seconds for me to pull the wires.

I have a Tazer but the install is a pain and the program is about the same. Tech support does not exist. Hope I never have to remove it.

It is tough. You are not losing your mind. Hopefully you are in a heated garage.

The mechanic at the dealer when I went in for my oil change thanked me for that.

I did the umarry and remove the tazer once without the extention before dealer service, I was on my odering the cable before I sat down in the waiting room

Thankfully my dealer doesn't give a shit about my TAZR or anything else I've "added" to mine.

And yes, extension cables FTW
