Hi All -

Please can you help advise how to remove this type of connector? It did not seem to remove intuitively, and I have a long track record of breaking things - so rather than persisting, I thought I would ask first!
(I am wishing to disconnect it as I apparently have leaks in the back seat air cushions, and although I have had the PSE pump output for the seats disabled to save the pump, I still hear this valve block going through the motions and just thought it best to disable it also until I get round to fixing the air cushions) -
Alternatively, if this part is on its own fuse, does anyone know which fuse it is?

Thank you -
Do you mean the part highlighted moves (see image) ? (sorry, I am not sure yet)

Haha - Thanks -
I cannot get it to move in that direction - Is that the part which I need to push in or pull outwards first before pushing in the direction of the arrow? or are there other "tabs" to consider?
