How do I remove this rubber plug from the body?

These plugs are located to the left of the drivers feet. The bottom plug feeds power to the front drivers side signal light. I can pull up on the two wires and it unplugs from the jack, but mine has a short on the bottom side, how do I remove the rubber plug from the body so I can check the wires on the other side?

Looking up from under the van, or looking behind the headlight, I cant get access to the bottom side. Does it unscrew, or do I just pull up on it?

Not getting any answers on this.. Guess I'll poke around a little more and maybe post the answer to my own question.. Smile

Never removed those and would hate to tell you the wrong thing to do. My guess is they twist off ???

i think i remember on my 67
the plug is a snap in and tuff to remove but
if you take the turn signal bucket out you can get in there that way..
i think
been like 3 yrs since i fixxed the evil eye my 67 had when i got it , a previous owner had an argument with some guardrails and lost.
the bucket was not in mine when i got it and had to put one in it after pulling out the dented corner
my connector wasn't even there, so i just ran a new wires through the plug and put on my own connectors to the headlight and signals
if i'm remembering correct ... i did a lot of life support on that one at the time too

Thanks G-Man, and LEADFOOT, for speaking-up.. With the number of page views I figured they weren’t really sure.

LEADFOOT gets the prize on this one, it is a snap in plug.. It sure doesn’t want to come out though, I was afraid it was going to rip before it let go. I was able to use pliers to squeeze it enough to get a couple of little screwdrivers in around it. Then spreading the screwdrivers apart caused it to pop out.

Funny though, that wasn’t the problem.. The problem was loose connections. I was able to remove the plugs from the in cab harness and tweak the plugs enough for a tight fit.

Problem solved, now to find out why the horn doesn’t work.. Smile
