99 Gr Marquis: Cant disconnect connector


1999 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, 4.6L, V8: I can't seem to figure-out how to disconnect the black plastic, multi-wire connector, that's on the left-rear/top (10 o'clock position) of the alternator (NOT the single, red ignition wire @ the very top)!
Already checked the stupid Haynes Manual, which was a steaming-pile of help (as-is the case, about 75% o' the time!). It advised to ".....remove wire connectors from alternator....." (NO S@1I!)
The connector doesn't just pull straight-out, & I don't see or feel anything that's even similar to a connector-release mechanism... & I'd estimate that I'm familiar w/ at least nine common ones!

So, my question is. . . . . "what the heck???!!!

There should be a lock that you can push in to release it. I use a small pocket screwdriver to help in getting inside the connector.
