I'm no exert here, but since no one has mentined it to you. Spray the messy area thouroughly with brake cleaner. Soak it down real good. You may have to use the whole can. Put a tray underneath to catch the mess.
The wire has to plug into something somewhere. If I think of it, when I'm in the shop, I'll look in the manual.
Oh Ya, almost forgot. Buy a manual! best money you'll ever spend.

Well that isn't cheap, if he has to replace the stator.

Looks like i have to leave it for the Pro's.
I've tried to pull the Plug but even with decent power i wasn't able to pull it out. It didn't move at all.
The question now is, am I to weak? (Probably)
Should i try it with full power or use pliers?
How did you remove the plug?

@Tanker2
Thank's for the tip, i've read already about the relocation. See the service bulletin here.
