I couldn't find the 'Dumb Question Forum' so I figured I'd post this here.
The underhood light in my 1999 Sport does not light and before I break/snap the 'antique' plastic - How do I un-plug the socket so's I can check the bulb? What do I push or pull? Does the red tab have anything to do with removing the socket from the housing?
Inquiring mind wants to know . . . .
:bang:

Got a piccy ??

My update model xj lamp connection doesn't have any red tabs.

On the other harness connectors though, the red tab "usually", slides sideways.

you can always use a sewing pin to push into the wire and check voltage without unplugging anything.

:camera: Here's a photo of the light plug/socket in question. I tried (gently) moving the red bit with no luck although it looks like it should slide.

Viola! It does slide now to get the courage to wiggle the socket off the light . . . . :smiley-scared002:

It's tough gettin' old
