Hi all

So I thought I would do the diy ignition retarder mod on my curvy (I know I know but its free!)

Decided to go with pulling the plug out of the ignition box under the rear seat as per this link:

However getting the plug out is easier said than done...:smt090

Is it to do with the tab at the top of the plug? Although a look with a torch down the plug doesn't show it hooking onto anything to secure the plug in...

Anyone got any hints for getting the plug out?

Cheers all! :cool:

it has tab on top of plug just like any other connector. push down on it and jiggle connector off.

It's got a rubber seal which can sometimes be sticky, push tab down and jiggle. If that doesn't work you can wrap a flathead screwdriver in a bit of tape and pry it off with that. If you do this, do both sides evenly.

To get the wire out of the connector a small jewellers screwdriver is good. But I would just chop them off, as I can't see any point in reconnecting them.
