Engine harness disconnect question

This is the Left front inner fender on my '97 7.5. I need to disconnect this harness and can't for the life of me come up with the solution. The caps on ea end give you access to the backside of the wires entering the pins, after that I'm stumped. Thanks

Sorry guys I can't the pic of the connector to post. Appears fine, click upload it appears just fine but does not appear in my post as other sites do. I'll keep trying tonight.

Problem with disconnecting engine harness


this is the Left inner front fender on my 97 7.5 I cannot figure out how to disconnect this harness. The end caps simple give access to the back side of the pins. Thanks guys......

There's a screw in the center of one side holding the assembly together. The screw runs parallel to the wires.

Thanks Eric, I'd loosened that bolt (on the firewall end) and it appeared to just loosen the cover, which was the back side of the pins. I did not attempt to separate the parts, will take a look in the morning.
