There is an electrical connector behind the AC compressor on the drivers side. Down low but difficult to access. It is on the same harness as the connectors for the AC compressor. This has been an absolute nightmare to remove. Very difficult to see how it disconnects. And try as I might with applying pressure at all different locations it doesn’t want to budge. Anyone know how to remove this SOB?

You can use a small flat bladed screw driver and slip it in the lock mechanism, then use a second screwdriver to gently pry the connector off. Use it perpendicular to the connector and pry it off.

At least in theory, that should work....
I'll see if I can get you a photo of it. Even to get a photo is difficult. Small things like this always hold up jobs.
I use hose pliers or angled pliers to get like these.
Finally got it. Soaked it with electrical contact cleaner, then used a pair of long needlenose pliers (like the bottom pic except at 45 deg) to tug on the base. Thought I was going to break it but it came off without any problems.
