Just got the new XZT+ and trying to install it. Already passed the 30 min install it was supposed to take.
The issue is I can not get at the red slide lock on the plug for the MAP.
I don't think I am mentally challenged but this thing is kicking my butt.
I tried from the top/side, top/front, and from under the truck with no luck. It looks like the slide has to slide down twords the ground to unlatch.
Any tricks to getting this plug out? Always could use a new tool if that is what it takes.

Thanks

 

As far as I know the Map sensor is just a regular plug in harness (AKA lif the tap a bit and unplug)??

 

mine had the red locking things too(maybe it was only the '02's beacause my cousins 2000 doesnt have them)....if i recall i took a real small screwdriver and it pops straight out (back) sorry if i'm not much help its been a while!

 

Thanks for the responses. It ended up that I had to use a flat very wide blade screw driver and short in lenght to push down on the top of the red lock to get it to pop open. By the look of others it looked like you could pull down on the bottom of the slide lock but no way to catch the small lip on that side of the lock. Once I pushed down on the top it clicked open and the plug could be removed.
Got the XZT+ installed and tested and what a change. It was a if the truck just woke up.
Going on a 2000 mile trip so I will see what MPG I get on the road.
