    Hi, I'm having trouble with this wiring connection. I tried pushing in both side tabs and pulling, then a small scredriver blade to open the tabs but neither seem to be work.

    Will not budge, any help please , thanks !

    Try pushing the connection together abit more and then squeeze the tabs.

    Is one of the tabs broken?

    Thanks, I tried pushing the connection togethor first , no luck. I dont think either tabs are broken.

    They both go in, with an effort, but cannot then pull apart. Wiring looks a bit delicate so i dont want to yank too hard and cause damage.

    I'd suggest wd40 and a good light to see what you are doing.

    From what i see you have a tab on left and right top that you squeeze in to pull up the block connector .

    At the bottom of these might be legs to click onto a tab to hold in place and a small electrical screwdriver twisting might release one side at a time to allow to pull it up

    Is it a coil pack on a ford

    Ok @greasepalm many thanks for that, I'll try again tomorrow, it's a connector to a turbo pressure sensor on a Hyundai ix35. Broken wire needs fixing...

    Go into a motor factors search page as i see this sensor which shows the raised bit on the sensor is in the middle and is in a different place ?

    https://www.mister-auto.ie/sensor-boost-pressure/triscan/8824-43004/ as an example

    Needs cleaning to see more into it to locate that latch catch.

    Interesting. Sorry, I summarised a little ,and may have misled you wth the sensor bit, but wil likely need that info down the line so appreciated ...

    Full story >

    a. Check Engine light came on (shortly after diesel refill)

    b. Attached (cheap) OBDII reader

    c. Code P0047 -  Engine Control Unit (ECU) has detected an out of range or abnormal reading of low operation in the turbocharger or supercharger boost control solenoid circuit. 

    d. cleared code - but it returned when engne stopped an restarted.

    e. Local garage booked up for 2+ weeks.

    f. Looked on-line said DIY can - check for broken wires, vacuum leaks and replace sensor. ( I dont have any sophisticated test equipment or knowledge to do any more than that)

    g. spotted broken wire - hopes raised !

    h. Cannot open connectorto to examine/fix - hopes dashed

    i Turned to boards for help ...

    Anyway, regardless I would like to learn how to open stubborn connectors, and may send up finding/repolacing sensor.

    First of all is there another wire in the loom same colour as you could trim the outer cover and solder both in place and if you had some heat shrink to put over it .

    Also check any turbo hoses that fracture.

    Ah good old YouTube with your car and issue.
