Safely removing ENET cable

Is there a safe way to remove it? Seems to be stuck.

Turns out this is a known issue. New cables are a pita to remove.

My cable I use to code goes in and out without trouble.

The cable for my P3 gauge is so difficult to remove. It pisses me off to no end.

(My cables DON'T GET STUCK!!)

FYI ... anyone looking to buy an ENET Cable, can purchase from me. I personally make these cables and sell for $20 each shipped within the USA (international shipping extra) via eBay.

I do not have problems inserting and getting out my ENET (car connector to Ethernet) cable. A friend of mine bought a similar cable from an ebay supplier and he has problem getting it off that he just left the cable connected at the car connector end. I got mine from a supplier in Eastern Europe which was quite pricey and do see several supplier in ebay at reasonable prices.

I had a problem getting mine out. After I got it out (had to pull REALLY hard) I cut out a notch where it's raised and haven't had a problem since.

New cables are snug. Just pull straight down as to not damage the pins, it will come out. You can notch it like mentioned above but is not necessary once you've used it a bit.
