I'm trying to get the pins out of these harnesses for the side mirrors on my Mitsubishi Outlander. What is the trick here? I tried pushing a thin, sharp metal screwdriver into seemingly every hole and tugging, but they are in stuck in there well.

Does the white casing need to be removed first? Do these harnesses have a name? It says PBT-GP15 on the side, but that's the type of plastic used, I believe. Any help or tips are appreciated.

 

This is what the bottom looks like:

 

And the wire end of it:

 

Did you ever manage to do this? Its my job for the weekend as I have had to replace the whole motor due to mirror having a big hit from a van. (it smashed the mounting).

 

Hello! Yes, actually. Thank you for asking.

If my memory serves me right (it's been some time), I just needed a smaller screw driver (almost the size of a needle, IIRC). That little screwdriver gets inserted into the back pin you want to remove and there is some location / latch that can get unlocked → the pin pulls out smoothly.

If my memory serves me right.

 

Thanks, I have various little picks and a set of connector re-pin tools, so will give it a go this weekend.
Such a pain that the hole in the motor is so small, when googling for solutions I found many manufacturers either run the wires alongside the motor, or they have a large hole in the motor that has space the connector to go through intact!
