BCM harness clip broke - HELP!

[srr0d88]

Not sure if this is the correct section to post this, if not please let me know and I will post where appropriate!

I need some guidance as to how to go about removing what looks like the C2280c connector in the BCM on my ‘23 lariat. I was installing the Z-Flasher module and the connector of the module got stuck and while trying to remove it the clip broke. (See picture below).

I am trying to remove it to place back the OEM connector and it is stuck. I feel like it is making some contact because my lights are on but I’m also getting error messages on the dash that the state of charge in the battery is low and to check the brake system. My parking brake is indicated on the dash like it’s always engaged but it isn’t actually engaged. I can turn the parking brake on and off.

Any ideas on how to remove this? Any insight would be much appreciated thanks!

I would use a small pick to try to rotate what is left of the white plastic latch towards the back of the truck while you wiggle the black plug. You will have to alternate from one side the other and it will probably be very slow progress.

If the other end of the z-flasher harness is easy to unhook and get inside the cab of the truck, it might be worth removing the entire BCM so you can work on it more comfortably and with better visibility. If it really fights, you might be able to separate the case on the BCM and work on the white latch from the inside. I haven't had to open up one of these BCMs yet, but most of the cases just snap together.
