Post a pic of it.

Most likely you just take a 90 degree pick to it.

Go to sears etc and get the two pack of picks. A straight one and a 90 degree angle. At the end of those plug connectors is a weird locking mechanism. Carefully unclip them. Then inside there is a little tab holding the individual female spade connectors. Hold it down with the pick and then yank the wire out.

Looking at those instructions I guess you're not even de-pinning the wires. So just pry out the white locking piece and then those clips will swing out. I'd take pics if time weren't money.

Well like I said, get some picks and carefully pry it open.
