Ham fisted trying to get the trans filter o-ring out and broke this connector on my son’s 2014. I’m trying to de-pin it for a new connector but can’t figure out how to release the wire. 
Can anyone help me out?

I believe you'll have to slide it in the front side on that plug from what I can tell. It would be the bottom side of the first picture you posted

Depinning is a dark art. gently feel around while tugging gently on the wire to release. Not much is holding the connector in there.

The connector is 89046635 and is more money than the whole internal mode switch is. Part number is 24258550.Replace the whole switch and be done with it.

MJM - I have the new switch but read that it has to be programmed. I don’t have the tool for that and the truck is sitting in my drive undriveable. I “thought” switching out the connector would be the quick option.

Just replacing the internal mode switch does not require any programming. The TCM needs to be reprogrammed when it is replaced which you are not doing.

Follow up for the folks here and in case someone needs it later. Despite what all the parts sellers say in the item description, the new shod shaft position switch does not need to be programmed! I had to buy an E Star Plus socket to fit one of the two bolts holding it in and that’s it.

 

Thanks to everyone that chimed in and offers help.

    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
