Wiring harness on firewall, WTF!!! HELP!!! Hey everyone! I'm finally in the process of putting my bird back together after a year and a half. My one problem I have right now it the wiring harness connection that goes through the firewall on the drivers side. HOW DO YOU DISCONNECT THE THING?! I have tried everything short of breaking the connector which I know isn't a good idea. There seems to be some kind of sealant similar to hot glue that may be keeping it together, I dunno. Any help would be awesome, thanks!!!!!!

the harness on the drivers side of the firewall doesn't disconnect at the firewall. it all unplugs inside the car. disconnect a few connectors (i forget how many) up under the drivers side of the dash, remover the 7mm bolt holding what appears to the connector at the firewall (the bolt is on the outside of the firewall), then squeeze the tab at the top of the firewall connector from the inside & feed the wiring harness out into the engine bay. hope this helps
