I have the three bolts off.
How the hell does the loom connector come off?
Some many plugs that are bloody puzzles on this car.

It's a pain but you have to grab the front of the connector and pull it out (toward you) to release the connector.

Any tricks to do that to a sticky connector? Can't get off without a fear of demolishing something lol

I had most of the dash out, and steering column lowered I think. This was part of removing the entire interior.
What happened after this was a nightmare. Found the pedal plate was rusted through all over. It was fkd

Finally I got my accelerator off. Needed to unbolt it to install a throttle controller.

I have to add I am pleasantly surprised how good the ultimate9 (AKA iDrive) works.

Have to relearn how to accelerate again in the highest ultimate mode lol
