Gee do not cut it. There is a $30 tool for doing it but a cent small paper clip will do it. There is a little flexible barb stamped into the connections. It prevents the wire from coming out were the wire and connector goes in the plastic plug. GENTLY with the straightened clip push in on side opposite of wire and it will keep barb down and GENTLY pull on the wire. Its an acquired trick without with the paper clip. As difficult as breathing once you know it. Some of these plugs also have a small raised tab on one side that may be this one. It sort of hinges up and lets the wires come along with the pick. What ever you do MARK them because it does make a difference how they go back and I if you do not in 1 minute you will look and say to your self did the green go on the left or right.

You have to sort of push the wires into the connector then press the little clip down then the wires will pull or very easy.

Keep track of which wires go on what side or your turn signals will work backwards!

Do not cut! WTH is wrong with people?

It's not hard... use a little patience and a paper clip. You'll get it.
