Default Can't unplug seat module

2006 XK8 got seat modules loose and wanted to test working driver seat module on non-working passenger seat controls. Can't seem to get module unplugged by pulling out. Is there a clip or other that is holding the plugs in or just stuck? Any suggestions how to loosen them?
Thanks!

Have a look on the end of the plug and you should see a small tang. Press that in at the same time as pulling the plug and it should come out.

A little wiggle sometimes helps.

Default Can't see tang

Would someone post a photo pointing out the tang to release the seat module plugs/connectors? I can't see them.
Thanks!

If you have removed the fasteners from the module and the module from the bracket, you should have enough slack to pull the module out from under the seat where you will have plenty of visibility. The tang to press will be apparent.

You need to push down on the tang in the middle of the connector for it to release.

It does take some wiggling, even with the tang pressed. It won't feel like anything's happening, and then it will just come free. It takes as much faith as it does patience and finger strength. ;-)
