Temperature sender wiring

Do the wires attached to the temperature senders on either side of the thermostat housing just unplug? They have what look to be molded rubber 90 connectors, but I am unsure if they pull out or not. I gently pulled on one of them and it seemed to "click", but I just pushed it back on before I broke something.

Thanks

yep - pull em right off

the ends "slide" over the stud on the senders

one is for the guage (solid tan) - the other is for the warning horn (tan/blue)

I wish I was there right behind you the exact moment when you pulled on that wire and felt the click. I would have yelled and I bet you would have jumped ten feet in the air.

Thats pretty delicate if you just pulled on it hard enough to feel just one click...

Like I said, I just did not want to pull on wires without knowing the connection.
