I have released the locking tab on my ABS brake Module but it didn’t release the connector from the Module, how should I remove it? Should I use a screwdriver to gently pry the plug out or is there another way to unplug the module? I just don’t want to break the plastic connection. I’m replacing the module so electrical plug definately needs to be removed. Car is a 2014 Holden Captiva 5

These plugs have a large lever that needs to be undone. I think I see the lever still in place but it hard to tell. These plugs can be tight on the ABS module so you might want to wiggle it back and forth. Can you back up a little bit and upload another image so I can tell for sure if the lever is fully released?
