2015 GMC Sierra Fan motor plug removal.

[Outdoors_Guy_88]

Can anyone easily describe how to remove the fan motor plugs on a 2015 GMC Sierra?

 

They are upside down and invisible when I am trying to remove them and I obviously cannot get them to release.

 

Is there a tab or "ears"  to push, plug, squeeze, depress or a clip to remove before removing them?  I cannot get them to release and I can't really see any mechanism.

 

There is also a white/grey plastic stick coming out.  Do I need to do anything with that or is that only to help guide reassembly?

Much Thanks!  Removing this connector was way harder than it should have been.  Sliding that long stick over until it clicked was not obvious, because it flexed so much, I didn't realize that it actually clicked open at some point.

 

GM needs a free video course on all of their "quick-release: connector types.

Man I spent like 2 hours last night trying to get mine out had no idea that the white tab went sideways lol. And I’m working on a 2019 trailboss!!!  FYI you have to remove the fans to get one of the alternator bolts out terrible design, flaw!!!
