some times the clips get stuck together pretty good. Your gonna have to push on the main tab and pull the back out. Might take a little extra umph!!

not really push, but more like squeeze the tabs.

wearing gloves seemed to help when i did it.

if not that...maybe some super pliers.

yep, what he said, while pushing down the tab, get a small flat head and put it between the 2 connectors then twist the flathead 180 degrees or try to pry it, i like the twisting it better.

P.S. make sure you took it off of it's other "tab" too(the plugs are clipped on to a metal clip this is the other "tab" it should be on the other side of the main tab). This may be your problem.
