| jfbart | I'm trying to disconnect the door speaker in my '99. I've released the tab, but the plug will not release. It feels like the contacts are welded together! Any tips?

| Marty Usher | Well, sometimes I am not a very patient and one of those times was I replaced the door speakers in my first Prowler. Like you I could not get the connector to open (driver's side) so I just cut wires and spliced them back together later. Yes I known that is not really a proper solution but the speaker worked fine from then on. |
| padroo | If you are replacing the speaker why not just cut the tabs off of the speaker and then you can deal with them. |
| Don Keebles | If I remember correctly you have to release the tab you indicate but then lift out the side tab. Put a small screwdriver in there and pry it out. Trick is holding the release tab and trying to pry sideways at the same time. |
| 1buddyc | For what it's worth, every time I have had to disconnect a Door Speaker from it's wire connector, it has been a tug of war. Those Speaker Connections on the Prowler are the hardest ones to separate that I have ever come across. Dont give up, just pull harder. |
| jfbart | Thanks for the tips. I'm not replacing the speaker - just need it out of the way to install a Tom Mills window regulator. If I can't disconnect it, I'll just tape it out of the way and cover it to avoid damaging it during the regulator install. |
| padroo | Most original door speakers are bad by now. If they are originals I would at least inspect the outer edge where the cone meets the foam, the foam dry rots. |
