I've put a set of these in all of the company trucks. The batteries in the dump trailers are forever going dead and the fuse for the overflow charging function while hooked up to the truck is always blown. I ran a set from one of the truck batteries back to the bumper and then another from the trailer hydraulics to the tongue. That way I never get stuck with a trailer that won't dump!

to release the clips you go through the back of the clip along the wire, not from the front.

you will not see it. you neet to push a small flat blade screwdriver between the cable and housing all hte way up into the connector on the opposite side from where the contacts are made. there is a small piece of spring steel that catches a little recess in the contact that locks it into the connector. to get it out, you need to pry the spring steel piese back so the contact will slide out of the connector

How big of a flat blade should I use? I'll give it a go tomorrow (ran out of daylight and had to hit the road after work)

Clips

In your last picture, look at the left connector in the plug. You will see a thin metal plate under the connector. There is a lip on the connector that is locked in place by the clip. That is the clip you have to depress to unlock the connector. On that one, you might be able to unlatch it from the front. Can't see the other one. Anyway, that is the clip you need to unlatch. Good luck.
