On a 99 90 thats all there is to it. You'll have the control cables thru one side and the harness going thru the other side. On the harness side that black piece that has the gas & oil lines comes off. Theres a single screw on the inside.

I'm not sure when they quit using them. Most are missing anyway, at least on the ones we see.

I'm sure that was embarassing for him but it really is funny. Come to think of it, when I got my 93 150 the wires on the pan switch were pulled apart and broken. I'll bet someone was yanking on the pan and didnt look for the wire connections. Funny.
