Ok, I'm pleading ignorance on this. I've looked online through multiple searches here, renntech, 6 speed online and I cannot find a simple explanation of how to unplug the wiring harness. Every thread or DIY says "unplug wiring harness", but never explains how. Help!

There is a small catch that must be tripped to free it up IIRC.

Here's a picture. I'm not sure where the clip is that needs to be released. If I could tell exactly where the connection point between the male and female ends are, it would be much easier.

About 45 seconds into this video you can see him unplugging.

Resurrecting this thread to actually answer the question! Here is the clip that needs to be pulled, and the direction. I couldn't get enough leverage on it with my hand, but was able to do it with the screwdriver. Pull it slightly in the direction of the arrow, and simultaneously pull the plug apart. If you've pulled back enough on the clip, the plug should come apart easily. Don't pull too far though, or it will break the little plastic clip inside that's locking it together. That happened on one side for me, since the clip was stuck in place. Fortunately, the plugs stay together fine without the clips, so if you do break one, it's not a big deal. (Or if you were worried you could wrap them in a bit of electrical tape.) In fact, I expect a lot of the tutorials that describe just pulling the plug apart have their clips already broken and don't realize it!
