I am trying to get this connector disconnected:

Will not budge and not sure how to get it apart. Connectors are the most frustrating part of working on vehicles! Need to get this out to help clear the way for cleaning before swapping in an LS. Thanks for any tips!
 
Not sure about the MJ. Doesn't look like any bolt (like the C101 on an XJ). However I see lot's of dirt that might interfere with the latch (looks like center top). You might try scraping out some with a small screwdriver, or use some compressed air. Then some penetrating oil. Keep wiggling it, watch your knuckles!!
 
Nope there is a long small bolt that’s at the very center of those wires. That’s the main harness going to the fuse block inside the cab. It’s a pain even with the bolt completely loose.

Thanks for the tips. I did not have the slightest clue there was a screw involved. Will remove and report back... eventually.
