Chrysler 2000 3.8 T&C oil pressure sensor

It looks like I have a leaky pressure sensor and I bought a replacement part, but I cannot figure out how to get the connector off the sensor. Visibility of the connector is not the greatest on the side closest to the block, and it looks like there is a red clip or something up in there towards the end that butts up against the sensor. It seems to move a tiny bit back and forth sideways but the connector is firmly attached and I don't want to break it off experimenting. There doesn't seem to be any visible locking tab that can be lifted to release it either, but maybe I just can't see it. Anyone know how to get the connector off?

There probably is a regular pull-up latch that is being locked by the red thing.

I don't know that particular connector, but most of them with the red thing require you to pull the red thing all the way out of one side, and then you will be able to pull up on the latch while you de-mate the connector.

If you have a digital camera, you might sneak that up in there in macro mode and see if you can view it on your computer zoomed in so you can see how the red thing comes out and which way to push or pull on the latch once the red thing is out of the way - I had to do that once on a starter connector in a blind area to see how the latch operated so I didn't get impatient and break something. Wasted 1/2 hour trying to do it by the braille method - once I snapped a picture and looked at it on the computer screen, crawled under there and got it apart in 5 seconds!
