I’ve included a picture of the plug connected to the MAP Sensor near the rear of the engine compartment in my 2004 XJR. The second picture shows what I believe is the ‘push lever’ that fits into the rectangular tunnel of the receptacle. Additionally, there seems to be a white tab at one point inside the "tunnel".

Despite applying lubricant, I’ve been unable to separate the sensor from the plug. I hesitate to use force because I’m uncertain about the exact release point.

Could anyone provide guidance? The MAP sensor requires replacement.

 

When i took my charger off i remember this connection being the worst. I used a pair of needlenose pliers to pinch the release and a 12 inch prybar to pop off the connector. It was comical how hard it was being tucked low and away. If you are replacing anyway you might be able to remove the sensor and have more room. If i remember right it is pretty tight against the firewall too

 

Connector from NZ was 21.74 + Shipping = $73.96
From Amazon Same Thing = $22.03 with free 1 day shipping
