Default differential electrical connector

I need to know how to disconnect the electrical connector for the lockers inside the case. I can't see a tab on the connector.

I don't have factory e-lockers (2012 sport) but I noticed an electrical cable with a capped end hanging down above both differentials and I assume these are there to connect the e-lockers had my jeep been so equipped. If I'm right, then you should see an electrical cable extending out from your diffs and there should be a disconnect on there somewhere. Of course I could be completely out to lunch, in which case I'm sure someone else will jump onboard to correct me.

I am surprised at how confusing some connectors can be on vehicles. Press here, pull that, slide this, put the tip of your tongue out the left side of your mouth and kill two chickens under a new moon...

Sorry I'm of no help, but I have felt your pain. Many is the time I was doing it right but the connectors were just stuck. It's always a question if a little more force will separate them or destroy them.

good luck.

Disregard my earlier post. After reading the other reply, I realize I missed the point of your question. Good luck and if you figure it out, post up so others can be spared the same frustration you are experiencing!

Finally got it figured out after breaking off part of it. I really just needed more light on the subject.

So how exactly did you get it out? I removed the bolt on the top but I still can't seem to get it to budge. Is there a trick to it?
