Which wires are you talking about? Everything unclips. You won't find any connectors just sitting in place. There should be a push clip on the connector that will release it. Don't pull on the wiring. It's possible to pull a pin right out and damage the pin and connector body.

There is a locking tab on each of those connectors. Just rock them back and forth, they will unplug without issues. Just don't yank on them with too much force.

Ray, are you referring to the two connectors that were not disconnected in the video above? If so, they should be just like any other connector in the dash. Depress the tab and pull on the connector to remove it. You may have to push in slightly before depressing the tab but all in all there is nothing special about them. I was not able to tell if there were locking pins on the tabs but if there are they will be red and all you have do to is gently pull back on them (don't fully remove them) and they will slide back and you can then disconnect the connector as usual.
