Default Instrument Cluster..removal easy...But the wires ????

Speedometer is barely registers, removing the cluster to investigate the speedo motor. Got the cluster out and disconnected the wire bundle on the far left...but the other two wire bundles I cant get to budge. What is the secret to those two???

Yep, the one on the far left did have a tab that I pressed to get it to release. The others dont seem to have any visible means of how they are held in place.

All 3 should have tabs on them. Far left is the easiest one to pull out. The middle and far right I use a small flat head to push the tabs down to pull the plug out.

Yep ^^^^^^ what he said. I had the same problem. The clips are there take a small slotted screw driver and push down. The connector will separate easy.
