Default Help me get a pin out of the monsoon wiring harness


C3 - White 10-pin connector
11 - GRAY - (Convertible) amplifier sensor
12 - not used
13 - not used
14 - DARK BLUE - steering wheel controls input
15 - not used
16 - DARK GREEN w/WHITE - (Camaro) vehicle speed sensor input for automatic volume
17 - LIGHT BLUE - right rear speaker negative
18 - DARK BLUE - right rear speaker positive
19 - YELLOW - left rear speaker negative
20 - BROWN - left rear speaker positive

I want to remove pin 14. How do I get it out of the harness? I have the connector apart, but I can't get the thing out. It's driving me nuts.

I pressed left and right on that pin and I still can't get it to release.

Why do you need to get it out? Wouldn't it be easier to tap into the wire for whatever you need?

Okay I got it out, I had to pry from the inside out and not the outside in. I need to get it out because I want to use my fusion brain to to give me access to the buttons through the carputer I installed. If I just tap into them, the functions they perform will still happen while I'm trying to get them to do new things.

Check out the fusion brain here.

Cutting the wire would have been much simpler and quicker.

It would have been simpler and quicker, but if I ever want to go back to stock then I'd have to solder the wire back together so I figured I'd just spend a little extra time now.
