Replacing alternator - weird electrical connector? (RESOLVED)
Hi all.
1999 4Runner. 6 cyl.
It has two connectors. The first is one of those wide plastic ones that just go in and out with a release tab. I got that one off easily.
The second is a connector like I've not seen before. It is gray plastic and shaped somewhat like a rubber boot that you see often. I cannot get this thing off. Primarily as I don't want to force it the wrong way and break the plastic.
I've seen other threads, people seem to be just talking about the other connector, not this one.
Do I just twist it off? I've tried that. Push and twist? Pry off?
I got a Denso rebuilt, I can see what looks like 4 "tabs" on the new one, but it's not intuitive what I need to do to get that connector off. I'm sitting here stuck, I *really* could use some help.
Anyone?
