Sorry to ask what may appear to be a stupid question, but can anyone tell me how to remove the wiring plug from the AFM on my 3.5 EFI ?
The thing will 'wiggle' & loosen, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to unplug it .. being plastic (ugh) I don't want to damage it by brute force & ignorance.

All I want to do is check the resistance readings with my multi-meter

Thanks guys.

Plugs with springs in usually need it pressing, or you can lift it and risk it going into orbit

Does it look like this?

P38A - P38 Oil switch connector clip

Hi Guys, Can anyone help? I was changing the front cover gasket on V8 4.0 Thor. When disconnecting the pig tail from the oil pressure switch I managed to ping the little metal 'clip' securing the connector across the drive never to be found again. I have searched high and low on the internet...

There's a bigger version of that spring that holds it on.
Scroll down on this link to the testing device & there's one on the right of the pic. Blow it up - might be difficult on a mobile but no problem on a laptop - & you can see the clip as the silver wire across the top of it.
