Default XKR Radiator Fan Disconnect - HOW?!?!

Hi guys,

I believe that the last time I disconnected the right fan electrical connection (to release the S/C belt), I did it from below while on a lift. I don't have the lift option right now, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to release that connector from above.


I don't have very large hands, but there is NO room to "play" with this thing. Can anyone explain exactly how that connector releases (i.e., squeeze the bottom, etc.) and how you manage to do it from above?

Thanks !!!

Jim M

I have small hands as well, but was unable to disconnect from the top. However, it is pretty simple from below on jack stands. No lift needed.

Don't have the pictures anymore, but IIRK they are "push the clip" type connectors. I'm sure someone will jump in with better info or pictures.
