plug wire release, how the heck????
I have figured out how to release the wires from the plug on the turn signals, but this plug on the left horn/turn/etc... how the heck do you release the wires from this plug? I haven't been able to find the release mechanism. thanks in advance

Molex connector poking tool.
The 06 handlebar controls used Deutsch.
In 07 they went to Molex.
.
Very simple to remove the wires. (pix follow)
First off you have a hook tool........
.
Insert the hook tool into one of the D shaped holes
and the point will aim at the other Dhole.
.
.
Above, use the tool to pull up about a quarter inch.
(you are pulling up the secondary lock)
.
Now, below I show a little T wrench I made up,
(for the primary lock)
using.032 stainless steel wire.......
.
.
Now, below, this is where you wanna poke your tool.
Doesn't take much, you don't need to bend anything.
Just push your tool in gently,
and pull it out the back (the wire).
.

.
All of the high performance fittings that are used these days are marked.
Whether they be AMP, Deutsch, or Molex (pictured below).
..........they are all marked...........................................

Guess I made it more complicated when I did mine when I pulled mine apart this afternoon to internally wire my new handlebars. Make sure if you are pulling the wires from connector harnesses to write down the color code or take pictures so later when you have a wiring mess you can go back and reference how they were originally. FYI for this type of connector sticking anything in the little holes and yanking real hard can result in destroying the wire, metal terminal, or worse the connector itself. The connector is a 4 piece assembly
main body (white or black depending on which side) - black backside keeper that snaps off- orange rubber wire separator- internal bone colored wire separator stabilizer
