    Gen III Prius Tinkerers,

    I am stuck on the stupidest thing... after adding some suspension components and during reassemply of the front windshield wiper cowl, i realized I now have to re-route the windshield wiper electric harness. To do this, i have to unplug the harness lug from the wiper motor.

    Here's the rub: I can't figure this plug out. Been tryin' for 30 minutes... no luck. I am familiar with varied electrical connectors, yet this &^%$ plug defeats me. It is that elusive EVIL PLUG :eek:No re-routed electric harness, no reassembly of the cowl... hence no car. Grrrrr....

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    OK, I took a break, posted this thread, read PriusChat for 25 minutes, went to try again and... the $%^&* Evil Plug smiled and popped right off. Sorry for the trouble, and good night.
