    I have leaking coolant level sensor. I went to replace it, and cant disconnect electrical connection. It got red clip to prevent it from disconnecting, but that clip got tiny thing to hold it in place. I've almost broke it, but stopped myself in time. And while i was there i've noticed part of engine harness rubbing against radiator support. Fine i thought at least i reroute that, and feel like i've done something today. Fat chance. I needed to disconnect a plug there too, and i have no idea where to start. why why why is it so difficult

    Why does it HAVE to be so difficult? I don't know. I have a feeling someone would tell you how to disconnect each one if you posted pics of each one. I've seen the guys at Ozark pop off connections. They always look complicated but they get them off in seconds.

    Success. With little more patience ( and better lighting) i've figured it out.

    Electrical plugs are my kryptonite. Seems like every OEM has their own too. Helpful hint: a little smear of dielectric grease on the plug body will make it easier to seperate next time.
