Step 6

Directly inside the now open indicator, you will see a small white rectangular “Molex” cable connecting to the PC-Board. There are 2 hook tabs that keep the cable in place. You need to hold the hooks towards each other before pulling them in order to get the Molex out.

After you pull the Molex out, and the cable is detached, you need to take the black end cap off the top of the pillar before putting the cable through. To do so, remove the 2 screws holding the cap to the pillar. Take off the cap, then pull the cable through.
