Ok I was looking through the Haynes manual, and I'm not seeing a great deal of detail, looked here and couldn't find it in the search, so here we go.

I have pulled the headlight motor, but I still have the wires attached to it. They appear to be soldered on, with one red terminal connecting to it as well. There is also what appears to be what would resemble a fuse connector for lack of a better term (1"x2" plastic clip) with the wires running through both sides. How do I disconnect the motor from the wires?
I'm sure I don't have to cut them, and I can't figure out how to seperate the wire clip.
Sorry no pics digital camera is not available....

Does this make any sense?

I think the connector stays with the motor. Pull the wires out the other end.

Hm. Perhaps this is a year to year variation, but on my early car, there are individual connectors for each wire coming out of the motors, and the wires are very short. I was going to take a photo, but my camera battery is dead...

Use a very small,very thin flat tip screwdriver and push it down into the plastic connector,there are tabs that hold the brass terminals inside the connector. You have to push them in so that they can then seperate and slide out of the plastic connector.

Oh man it was simple.. I just didn't want to start pulling things apart. Had a male and female terminal meeting up in the middle of the black clip / box..
Thanks again everyone for the direction..


Didn't go to Joe's had things to do around the house, things to finish up for the office, and even had a little tim to work on stripping the car down further for paint prep.. The goal is to have it sent to paint by mid Feb..Hey I guy can dream....
