Disconnecting 0BD2 Port-Wiring From The Dash

Its the only thing holding the dash on at the moment, so is it a case of pinging the wires of with a tool from the driver seat or am I looking for something behind the dash to disconnect the port as I cant see anything. Very tight behind there just to even get your hand in. Just trying not to break anything and do it right.

Please and thanks.
Regards Aidan

Don't cut the wires if you plan to use your car again. It will end badly.

If you have the drivers seat out (4 bolts), you can lie down on the floor and have full access to the module. As I recall it's in a bracket held with 2 bolts.

I just went to refresh my memory and don't even worry about the bracket, the connector itself clips into the bracket, so if you can compress its clips with pliers, you can pop it out of the bracket and let it dangle.

So its dangling there after prying it out from the centre passenger side but I want it to come out inside the dash so the dash would just fall down so what now
