Those poke in connectors are usually just a wedge/V shaped piece of metal that grabs the wire. If the plastic tab broke off you should see the V, stick in a small flat head and twist it until it releases the wire. Oherwise just pressing the button should release it, just jiggle the wire loose, forward and backward while pressing down.

Yep! I ended up taking the tab all the way off. I was able to wedge some tweezers in between the wire and the v shaped clip. Thanks!
lift instead?
