Is this a trick question?

Just like any other harness connector on the car. Squeeze clip, remove plug.

I am more worried about them breaking and It's not a trick Q.

If i squeeze the black clip on the side of the harness part and just pull it will it come off?

'Black part' means nothing out of context.

Seriously, it's just like any other connector in the car. Squeeze the clip, remove connector.

When I mean't the black part, I was reffering to the squeezer that's on the side off the square clip, If i had the pic I would point it out.

Have you ever disconnected anything else on the car before?

yes, I have disconnected the radiator wires and the clock wiring but not

the hazard light connector or the defroster connecter. If they all operate the

same way but look different, then that is why I am not trying mess with them.

They all disconnect exactly the same.

No, tigersharkdude, he needs to know the quick way to disconnect the radio and clock.

Take a pair of sharp wire cutters and start cutting way any wires that hold the radio and clock in. Best way in my book to quickly remove ANY electical device from a car.

Oh course, you may not want to go that route if you plan on reinstalling said such item afterwards, per say.... but this guy is just wanting to disconnect his radio...

If there's anything that I would try to avoid, It would be the electrical wires

and I am not taking a risk in just ruining a perfect connection or a perfect

wire. I can do just about anything else with the vehicle so It's all about

time and confidence really.

the hazard and clock have a single tab on the side of the connector. You're talking about the ones behind the clock panel not the ones on the radio?

sure, bring your car this way and I will have it stripped down in no time.

I was just making sure that I was doing the right thing before I go and

screw up something that was perfectly working. If you have nothing nice to

say please don't even bother posting it, because your acting like a fool.

The connectors on the hazard have a single tab that's white on

top and the sides ones are black and I got them out.

I am sure this was an easy problem, but like I have said I would not mess

with something that I am not sure of and I thought, If I can step on to

the .org and get some help it would be a piece of mind. Thanks for the Help..
