In Step 9, the instructions are not clear “Using the tip of the blue plastic opening tool or your fingernail, pull the connector for the fan cable straight out of the socket.”. By straight out, that could mean straight up. However, the connector needs to be pulled straight back towards the fan body. It is difficult to see which way the connector should go. Otherwise, the instructions are excellent.
