ficm power wire ?

trying to remove my ficm. is there a certain way to get the connectors loose on bottom? i pushed in the first set of clips and pulled down a little bit, just enough that i could see the wires inside. is this the right spot to disconnect? should i just see wires? if so how do you reach is there to push the clips in on the other two? thanks dennis

IIRC there are three plugs that go in underneath the FICM, I think there is a tab on the side of each plug that will release the plug.

Page 9 picture 13 of the PDF shows the harness and plugs. You have to pinch/squeeze the tabs located on the driver and passenger sides of the plugs and pull down. They can be fairly stubborn to get out sometimes. You can just see one (there are two) on each plug in the picture that I referenced.

I think that's a common "mistake". I did it myself the first time or two.
