I'm replacing the turn signal/cruise control switch in my wife's Century. I'm down to where I unplug the two connectors (1 gray, 1 black) from what's called, in the Alldata procedure (and I assume also in the GM FSM, which I don't have), the 'steering column bulkhead connector'. It says to remove the bulkhead connector from the vehicle wire harness before removing the two connectors for the turn signal switch from the bulkhead connector.
I cannot find instructions on alldata on how to "remove the steering column bulkhead connector from the vehicle wiring harness" - perhaps the FSM has such instructions, but if so, alldata left them out. I see the "bulkhead connector" at the base of the steering column, which appears to be an assembly of a conglomeration of connectors (whose idea was that!!), but have not figured out the 'keys' to get it to come apart or to remove it from the vehicle harness. I did see a blue "connector position assurance" device stuck in the side of the bulkhead connector assembly, and easily pulled that out. What do I do to get the thing apart and demate the two turn signal/cruise control switch connectors so I can finish replacing the turn signal/cruise control switch?
Would appreciate instructions or a link to same.
Thanks!!
