Default PCM Plug question...

How do I get the gray plastic covers off of the PCM plug without breaking them? And then how do I get the blue and red covers off? I spent some time looking at them and cant figure out how they come off?

I take a small pair of needle nose pliers and wiggle the tabs until they release out, after you break a few, you'll understand how much pressure you can apply
The colored covers have lock tabs on the end of them, you push them in and lift the cover past them

They're designed to be removed by pinching and pulling the covers off. Some come off without a fuss, some require encouragement. I use a soldering pick to pry them out. The worst to snap are the middle ones because no tool can fit in there

Another reason I like the Fwd connectors better, they have easy to remove covers and the connectors themselves are much better looking

THanks. Im going to have to pick some up.
Any idea on where to find new pins, and possibly the part number? I would like to add a new pin for fan control.
