Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to pop open these white tab harnesses? I opened the ones with gray tabs easily but cant figure out how to open the White ones.
Attaching pictures of both types incase anyone knows the trick to open these. I can hear the tabs click after pulling them up but still wont open. Dont want to break it since they connect to all the wiring.

Thanks in advance.


The white tab pulls out and I can hear it click but connector still wont come apart even by squeezing the white tab.

Was able to open this type by pulling out the gray tab and then squeezing it while pulling the connector apart.

Thanks for your reply BenzNinja. Sorry should have stated the issue is with disconnect of harness types in pictures 1 and 2 only.
I was able to disconnect this type (picture 3 in my post ) like you said by pulling up the gray tab (it clicks when pulled up) and then pushing on top of it to release the connector.
This method does not work on the other types ( pictures 1 and 2) for some reason. Thanks.

I was able to finally disconnect the harness. Thanks for your help and pictures. It was basically same as the other (gray type) harnesses but needed more force so I used a plier to squeeze and pulled up and it came apart. Here is a pic.
