Ok they are 4 locking pins. 2 on the to and two the bottom. Not sure if you have enough space to get behind it to push them in.

The 2008's are in the middle of the dash now down low, I still can't see anyway to get to them and the relays (which I still have not found) are in a different place from the 2007

the relays are on the left side above the emer brake assy if you look up from there you will see a box that is the relays and the wires are behind the diag link connector under the drivers side facing the seat
