that cluster of wires are impossible to get to even for my little hands. i was looking for where the wires go into the computer under the hood
Nope, wrong place, That is just asking for trouble if you accidently cut the wong one, or break one inside the insulation while fooling with it; just undo the bolt that holds the white retainer to the bracket, that will allow it to drop enough to turn around to get the plug apart to insert the pins if you are doing it correctly, if not, and you just want to cut and splice the wiring, then you can get the white plug down far enough to cut, strip and splice the wires.
Not that hard, I've done dozens of them, and I'm old and got big hands.
