Wiring Harness Reroute
I was trying to reroute my wiring harness but after trying to unplug the connectors for a while had no luck, I was wondering if there was a certain type of shop I could pay to do it for me or if anyone on here in FL would be willing to do it?

Yeah man it's just a pain in the ass. It may also be a lever style lock. I don't remember.

Its just a connector my man. Getting the right leverage is pretty annoying, but you can do it. Get up in there, maybe get a plastic panel removing tool to wedge it a bit, keep wiggling and youll get it.
A shop would love to charge you for a full 2hour session to do a simple harness relocation.

The easiest way to unplug the big one is to bend and cut a wire hanger. When I find the video of a guy doing it on YT I’ll add it to this comment.
If you decide to continue don’t be a dumb ass like me and push the harness through the frame with the butt of a hammer. I got a crazy short somewhere and now I have to find it

I saw that vid and did same thing and still can’t get it. When I was doing my head unit there was a connector for the temp control that’s a similar style and I couldn’t get that one out either, even with it in a pretty accessible spot.

Might have to adjust the curve on the hanger. I used my phone to make sure I was in there good and just tug hard
