Ok... I am trying to remove my doors for my first time... I don't think they have ever been off before.. I used WD 40 last night on all the hinges and they are coming up easy enough.....
MY PROBLEM..... I can NOT get the wiring harness plugs to come apart.... CANT take the door off with the wires still attached...(DUHH)...
I am pretty sure I have them unlocked... push down on the little lock but cant get them to budge...
TRICKS???
What should I put on these to make it easier in the future??

Thanks

The plastic connectors for the door wiring harness on my '14 just need to be squeezed and yanked down. The clip is secured to the jeep up under the dash for the front and in the B-pillar for the rears. Stupid question...but are you sure you are trying to disconnect the correct plug?

Need to push the red lock down and then push in the tab down in the center next to your thumb and pull.

Try wiggling it as you pull down. I had a tough time with the front passenger door on mine.

You may even push them together slightly while pushing down on the release before trying to pull them apart. It helps take a little pressure off of the tab that moves to make it move a little more freely.

With me moving I had to put the top and doors back on. I usually run naked from late April to the end of October. Can't wait to get things moved in my garage so I can strip it down.
