I did my father's '91 and used a trailer connector soldered and heatshrinked after I cut the wires. If it ever has to come out again, it can be unplugged.

I faced the same problem. You either have to crack the heater box open in the van and undo the wired at the motor, discount the wire at the heater switch or cut it. I tried to release it from the switch but couldn't easily do it and cut the wire. My reasoning was I'd rather use a butt connecter then trash the connecter or the plug. JFF

There is also a brown ground wire running over to the main ground stars where it can be unplugged. The power wire from the fuse panel to the fan switch connector can be released from the connector shell with a jewelers flat blade screwdriver.
