The one in the center of the back of the airbag unit.
Trying to grab it with pliers is dicey, because they slip and could cut the wires.

Disconnect Battery !! No need to use any force. There is a small release clip.
After removing retaining screws you have enough slack to see all around the air bag.
You can release it with finger pressure only Its like a lever on the outside of the connector.
I just looked at the Bentley manual to confirm but its a rectangular conector with the release on one of the narrow ends.
You can gently ease the hook part up on the outside of the male connector to allow it to slide over the latch part on the female connector.
If you are in an doubt, get a pro/body shop to do it.
Did I say DISCONNECT BATTERY ???
Cannot overstate that.

No-no-no... wrong connector
I got that one (the flat yellow one that is) I mean how do I disconnect the other end of it from the actual airbag. It's a small black, round connector. the new bag I have doesn't have the connector in it and so I was going to reuse the existing one.
