    It looks like I have a leaky pressure sensor and I bought a replacement
    part, but I cannot figure out how to get the connector off the sensor.
    Visibility of the connector is not the greatest on the side closest to
    the block, and it looks like there is a red clip or something up in
    there towards the end that butts up against the sensor. It seems to
    move a tiny bit back and forth sideways but the connector is firmly
    attached and I don't want to break it off experimenting. There doesn't
    seem to be any visible locking tab that can be lifted to release it
    either, but maybe I just can't see it. Anyone know how to get the
    connector off?

    There probably is a regular pull-up latch that is being locked by the
    red thing.

    I don't know that particular connector, but most of them with the red
    thing require you to pull the red thing all the way out of one side, and
    then you will be able to pull up on the latch while you de-mate the
    connector.

    If you have a digital camera, you might sneak that up in there in macro
    mode and see if you can view it on your computer zoomed in so you can
    see how the red thing comes out and which way to push or pull on the
    latch once the red thing is out of the way - I had to do that once on a
    starter connector in a blind area to see how the latch operated so I
    didn't get impatient and break something. Wasted 1/2 hour trying to do
    it by the braille method - once I snapped a picture and looked at it on
    the computer screen, crawled under there and got it apart in 5 seconds!
