I looked at the manual and found nothing for removing wire from connectors. I took a paperclip out with me, and feel like a dumbass, cause I can't figure out how to get the wires out of the connectors. Do you push the wires out from the other side using the paperclip? The paperclip is no strong enough and I'm afraid to dick up the wire ends by doing this. I hate wires, and I am shameful, being the son of a electronic engineer.

Nevermind, I found it in the manual. Yes, I'm afraid I'm a dumbass.

My monkey-*** can't get one damn pin out of the turnsignal connector. I'm doing what the manual says but I can't get one sister-rape'n pin out. WTF!

LOL, push the wire into the connector, insert the paper clip and push in, pull the wire out. You may have to push and wiggle the clip, once you get one out you will see.

Cool, I finally got that part. It's a finesse thing.
Now my other problem that the manual fails to be specific about is the socket housings. You pull the plate up with needle nose pliers and the plate stops. The lock plate rear of the socket terminal is removed as well. If the plate inside the socket terminal locks after pulling it, how do you get to the wire pins? The socket housing terminal I'm referring to is for the turn signals, engine start switches.
