[s-cars] Re: connector holging bracket on the firewall

[Konstantine Bogach]

I see  my description might be confusing.  What I meant is usually a 
male connector and not the one which can be easily removed by pressing 
on metal  wire lock and slid off,  which is usually a  female one.  Let  
say  I want to remove  RPM sensor off  the car.  Wire from the sensor 
goes to that connector on the firewall bracket (which I crave to 
remove).   Another part of connector is female one and it can be easily 
removed by pressing wire lock tab and sliding off. 
I hope it make sense.
