911SC electrical plug at back of engine compartment driver side

How do I disconnect the plug at the back the engine compartment driver side ?
It looks like some triple level stack so it's unclear what comes off.

If someone has a picture of it disconnected, that would be great !

Thx

Just pull and wiggle it straight out towards the tail light.
The 14 pin connector will seperate fairly easily.

Thx Dennis

It's the connector at the back of the engine compartment above the crossmember.
I found a pic of it here.

Mine came right out pretty easy. You just need to be careful it's not a bit brittle and crusty and comes apart spilling all the pins or breaking up the female side (happened to me on the cruise control connector in the frunk). Then you'll be studying a wiring diagram for a few hours .

It's hefty for a simple connector.

I didn't know where it was supposed to separate but the pic from the other thread



shows it quite clearly



Thx

Had to check my own thread again for reference.... can never be too careful about breaking stuff by brute force.

In summary, there's no latching mechanism. Just "wiggle" and pull up !
