I am in the process of changing my navigation screen, with instructions from another thread here.
But, I've run into an issue that may prove me being as smart as a hoe handle.
How do I disconnect the plug for the multi display, that I've circled in the photo?
I've tried, blindly, pushing and pulling everywhere that I can get my fingers.
Is there a trick to getting this unplugged?
Thank you so much for your help with this.
It helps if you use needle nosed pliers. That connector is a booger to squeeze. The mount that the one end is connected to isnt very sturdy and moves as you try to apply pressure to the release tab.
Thank you everyone.
I broke my index finger about a year ago, so putting a lot of pressure isn't the easiest.
I'll try the needle nose pliers.
At least I know I was trying the correct place.
Thanks again.
I release the tab with a very small straight screw driver from the left side. I am a reasonably strong guy but could not release it using my fingers either.
I had to use needle nose pliers on it, and most of the other electrical connections.
I have the new screen installed, and in the process of reassembling the bike.
I took, what I thought were good notes, plenty of photos during disassembly, and still pick up a part,
and realize it should have gone on before the last part I put back on.
But, it's been like that on every bike I have ever worked on.
Thanks again for all the help.
For the ones that want to do it in a way that does not harm or modify a Wing, I suggest learning how to release the connector correctly. Releasing it correctly will more likely make the connector last a Wing's lifetime, as well as making the connection of the male/female more secure and reliable.
