I need to replace the downstream O2 Sensor on my 2001, 4.7 L, 2WD Durango. But, I cannot get the electrical connector apart. How is this accomplished?

The connector has an orange part that slides. I slide it and still can't get the connector apart. What is the secret?

I have searched the forum but evidently I do not use the proper search words. Can't find anything about this.

Thanks

 

The orange slide must be fully removed first.

Then you have to slightly pry each side arm up together, then pull the harness apart.

 

you have to slide the red clip and then squeeze on another tab that is there, its a double locking mechanism iirc.
