is there a Trick to removing the connectors at the harness connector mounting bracket?

[robert weinberg]

sounds absurd - but pull the ecu fuses (the ones with the motoren caps on them) 
and make sure there's no corrosion on them or on the contacts in the fuse box. 
if they are corroded, they will not make contact and your car won't start.

Still working on that no start condition on the 26k miles '91 200 TQ 20v car in 
NH.  I am trying to do a test of the two flywheel sensors...ignition timing 
sensor and engine rpm speed sensor at the connectors behind the engine, mounted 
in a stack on a bracket.  The retaining steel spring clips that hold them 
together seem to be trapped by the immediate connector below...  is there a 
trick in getting these connectors released without breaking them?  Do you pry 
the topmost connector out of it's slot first to enable removal of the retaining 
spring clip?  I don't want to force it and regret it.

Jim
