For those who need to remove the rear turn signal wire plugs
from the rear taillight assembly without totally destroying the plug.
The manual for the 2003 softail shows using a pick from the top ..forget it..
The small hole you need to pick is on the underside of the socket.
See attached picture. Sorry about the focus but the best I could do.
The center of the picture shows one plug and the “yellow” outlined notch
will fit into the hole of the sockets in the center of the red circles. You will
need a very small screwdriver or pick and press up on the notch.. pushing it up
above the hole and the plug will come out easily. Hope this helps…

 

No problem on a 2005 FatBoy.

wish i had seen this before i boogered mine up. i got new ones for under $5 at hd.

 

thanks for the heads up

 

Apparently HD got smart and flipped the sockets upside down (rightside up ) on the '05 softails...if you don't see the socket-hole/plug-tab on the top side as sown on the '05 Fatboy above....check on the bottom for it on older models... don't destroy your plug (don't ask me how I know) by getting frustrated and trying to pull it out with needlenose pliers....
