Always replace electrical connector (1) in the event of damage to the electrical connector (1), bracket (2) or lock (3). Otherwise the electrical connector (1) detaches from the ESP® control unit (N30/4).

Disconnect electrical connection (1) 

1. Push lock (3) upwards (arrow) until the release (4) is exposed.
2. Press release (4), hold down, and swing bracket (2) upwards to the end stop.

   The swinging action of the bracket (2) pushes the electrical connector (1) slightly out of the jack in the ESP® control unit (N30/4). Do not use tools.

3. Disconnect electrical connector (1) from ESP® control unit (N30/4).

   Do not handle the electrical connector (1) at the bracket (2) when doing so.
