THE RED,BLACK OR GREY CLIP ON THE PLUG IS A SLIDE LOCK SOME ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO RELEASE..AND SOME DONT HAVE A LOCK...BUT IT SHOULD.
NORMALLY I ALWAYS SPRAY A LITTLE PENETRATE ON IT SO IT WILL SLIDE EASILY..
SO SPRAY IT.... WAIT 1 MINUTE USE SMALL FLAT SCREWDRIVER INSERT IT JUST BELOW
THE TIP OF COLORED SLIDE LOCK AND PUSH ..NORMALLY IT WILL SLIDE BUT STAY IN PLACE SO YOU WONT LOSE IT...I ALWAYS SLIDE IT OUT THEN GRAB WITH NEEDLE NOSE PLYERS AND PULL ALL THE WAY OUT !!..THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO UNPLUG AND EVEN THEN SOME ARE STILL HARD TO DISCONNECT.......I HAVE HAD SOME SO HARD TO UNPLUG I COULDNT REACH IT JUST RIGHT AND HAVE HAD TO BREAK THE LOCK BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK....HOWEVER YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE THE LOCK ...IT IS JUST TO KEEP IT SECURE BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM UNPLUG THEMSELVES DUE TO VIBRATION.....IF NO LOCK JUST LUBE IT AND BARELY SQUEEZE WITH PLYERS AND PULL..IT WILL COME ONCE PENETRATE CREEPS INSIDE ......IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO USE SILICONE ELECTRIC LUBE AND LUBE SIDES OF NEW SENSOR CONNECTOR END BEFORE RECONNECTING PLUG.
Well, I'm a bit of a ****** for preventative maintenance, mostly because I'm lazy and just want my equipment to work forever. So, here are some things that will be helpful: Around every 10-15k miles, it is best to change out the fluid in the rear differential. That's also a real good time to change manual transmission fluid. 50k is a good time for automatic transmission fluids. 50k is also a pretty good time to drain out your old coolant, and pour some new coolant in. Probably every 500 miles is a good time to take a look at how much brake fluid you have, and how much power steering fluid you have. Every month, no matter how cold/hot, run your heater for 5 minutes, then your A/C unit for five minutes to keep the seals stable. Every now and again, take a peak under your vehicle's frame, check EVERYWHERE for rust. You don't want rust sneaking up on ya'. Look often, and change every 30K miles or so, your brakes, make sure they are in best possible shape. Also, press on your bumper, and let loose. If you're starting to have stability problems (Maybe at 100K miles or so), it is time to check those shock absorbers. There's plenty of stuff to check, but it's mostly preventative. Might get a Chilton-Hayes style manual for your vehicle.
YOU HAVE TO CALL FORD DEALERSHIP PART DEPARTMENT THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE PRICE.HEY I WOULD CHECK HYDRALIC PUMP FLUID LEVEL FIRST PUMP IN THE TRUNK AREA..IF FLUID LOW ADD HYDRALIC FLUID BLEED AIR OUT SYSTEM.AND SPRAY PENETRATING LUBRICANT ON ALL FRAMEWORK JOINTS TO PREVENT BINDING.
