how to remove wire back up light?

I got the brake light figured out, but not the back up light. It has a green wire on drivers side. Is there a trick or am I just not seeing something?

I can't make sense out of the question. What is it you want to know?

I want to remove the wire that the bulb attaches to. The wire that attaches to the housing that has the lense cover. The brake light wire just unclipped from its housing but not the back up light.

I'll go look. I was going to suggest some wire cutters and yank the other end but didn't think that was what you wanted to know.

Seems I was right
You'll have to push the connector assy. through, cut the crimped connector and pull the spring and housing off the end. I don't know where you will find another connector to crimp on there when replacing though.

Thanks for the response. I was looking and looking and just could not figure it out. It seems like there has to be a way to do it. Everything else on the truck is able to come apart, but not this? I was thinking cut it, but would really like to find a way without damaging it.

I wouldn't have ever attempted all the things I've done to my truck, without all the people on this site. I learn every time I check it out. Thanks everybody.
