How do I separate/release the terminals in this multi-plug connector? (Morris/Classic Mini)
TL;DR: How do I release the individual spade terminals from the plastic housing on this horn/indicator multi-plug on my ’74 Morris Mini? Is there a barb I need to depress with a pick before the terminal slides out the back?
I’m trying to take apart this connector on my 1974 Morris Mini - it’s the multi-plug that connects the horn and indicator/turn-signal wiring from the column switch into the rest of the loom. The second photo shows a new replacement plug I bought so you can see exactly which part I mean.
I want to release the individual spade terminals from the plastic housing (either to swap the housing or re-pin the wires), but I can’t figure out the trick. Is there a tab/barb on each terminal that needs to be depressed with a small pick or screwdriver before it slides out the back? Any advice on doing this without damaging the terminals or the housing would be appreciated.
