Help installing Alcantara Steering wheel
I am in the middle of the installation of an Alcantara Steering wheel and I got to a dead end disconnecting the paddle shifters.
Those are connected by a blue connectors that I haven't been able to figure out how the can be disconnected/dettached. Does any one have idea how does this connectors are released? Thanks in advance |

Post a pic of the connector and I'll try to tell you. I've done a steering wheel swap once before but it didn't have shift paddles.

I could be mistaken but I believe that plug is tucked in place and can be pulled out for better access. Anyway, the plug has two holes in the center with a piece inside. Depress that center piece on the hole to release the plug. See the green lines I've indicated. You can also gently pry up at the end of the connection to release those areas I indicated. Be gentle.
Btw, pics were not posting on multiple posts last night but seems to be working now.
