fog light connector

[igaodeng]

Was trying to replace my fog light bulb the other day, found a video on youtube and followed instructions. According to the video the connector should just pop off when pressed down, however mine seemed to be stuck, tried to wiggle it while pressed down but no luck, any idea? Btw is the hook looking thing located under the engine area a jack location?

There should be a tab on the connector that you'll need to depress. Then it should pull out and could be tight. Also, I think the bulb holder will also come out if you rotate it counter clockwise.
NO! That is not a jack point! It's a tow hook. I speak from experience, do not jack up from there!

You can jack up at the tow hook. The manual demonstrates this. You just have to be careful about the bolts.

Thanks for the reply, guess I'll be safe and jack the sides.

And don't jack from the very front of the pinch on the bottom, where you see the fender bolts on, did that and it bent it sideways >:[.

My car is so stiff that when I jack up the front, from the side, the rear goes too!

I think thats just weight distribution of the car, you just have to jack up further up. My 02 escort would jack up the whole side from the very very front of the car haha.

I had to wiggle mine a little while depressing the latch, but the unplugged pretty easily.
