I am trying to get the connector for
I checked the fuse 18, 24 4. It seems OK. Then I tried to replace the o2 sensor. no matter what I used to disconnect the o2 sensor. use flat head screw driver to push or pull the connector down in the mean time, using another hand to pull that out. It did not work. Must have a easy way to do that.
Thanks.

it is locked by the bracket it is installed on. remove the conector from the bracket and then you can unplug it.

Thanks. I did using the link as reference. but whatever reason I just did not get that out of the connector. Thanks. I shopped around and let the mechanics to do that. $220 with the original Honda part. I think it is not that bad. Thanks.



Prepare to contort your body. I’m still not 100% how I got it loose, but if you look at the “connector-end” of the new O2 sensor, you’ll see one side of the connector has a tab. You’ll notice when you press it that it barely even flexes. I’ll tell you what I did, and you can go from there.

The two connectors (the male and female ends) connect together, and then the male end is actually attached to the frame. When you reach in there, you’ll notice that it's being held in place to the frame. Try your best to hold the male end (the part to the right) as best you can while taking the large screwdriver and pressing on the tab on the connector. Once you hear a click, stop (or if you think it should have released based on the pressure you applied, stop).

Now, take the screwdriver and gently try to pry the male and female ends apart. If you see them start to separate by about 1/4”, I’d say you released the connector. If that’s the case, hold the male end, then use your other hand to pull on the O2 sensor wire to separate the male and female ends.
