The connector is a pain to get apart since the thing is mounted as though you could hang on it. I thought it would come out so you can get fingers on it, but not so much LOL. The wire I used may be a bit too small, I am not sure.

The wire taps were not snug in the harness, so I wrapped everything with electrical tape (see picture C). I did have to unplug the connector to get access, but others have been successful using needle nose pliers to push the wire tap into the harness without disconnecting it.
