Air Bag Safety Switch/Connector: Service and Repair
When checking voltage or resistance on this type of connector the first time, you must remove the retainer to insert the tester probe from the wire side.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reinstall the removed retainer; the terminals will stay locked in the connector housing.
To remove the retainer (A), insert a flat-tip screwdriver (B) between the connector body and the retainer, then carefully pry out the retainer. Take care
not to break the connector.
Spring-loaded Lock Connector

Disconnecting
To release the lock, pull the spring-loaded sleeve (A) toward the stop (B) while holding the opposite half of the connector. Then pull the connector
halves apart. Be sure to pull on the sleeve and not on the connector half.
