Pay careful attention to the condition of your plug as the older plastic might easily break as it could be brittle.
Disconnect the batterie to avoid a short.
You can add a wire without disassembling the plug. Just put the cable shoe into the plug until you hear a click and the cable is fixed so that you cant pull it out anymore.
To remove a wire you should carefully disassemble the plug so that you can release a little plastic hook that holds the cable shoe and pull it out.
How-To: disassembling Plug/ add or remove single wires
PCM-Plug on ngc-Neons
Because the black PCM-plug has been damaged by the accident on my SXT I had to care about fixing it.
Thanks a lot Mike for sending me that thing !
So let´s get started...:
On the picture above you can see the red clip and the black barb
which are holding the cableshoes right in place, move the red clip to release one of them
remove the lid
and the grey seal
Now the second barb - it´s more difficult. Either try a needle from the bottom of the plug
or a very tiny screwdriver from the back
or both and carefully get the cableshoe out.
The lid has a couple of little plastic nibs to prevent using the wrong
slot. So if you like to install a new wire you have to break the needed out.
This way you can add new wires for cruise control, ABS or something else you like.

There are tools designed specifically for servicing terminals like this. I would recommend using the correct tools to prevent damage to the sensitive components. I have a kit made by Snap-On, but there are several others on the market as well.

Wiha tools might have something. May need to contact them. They would be more local to you than Snap on, I would think.

Terminal Pick 6680
Terminal Removing Tool 6932
Terminal Removing Tool 6934
Molex connectors require Tool 6742
Augat = 6932
Thomas And Betts = 6934

A small pick, and jeweler's screwdriver set works fine for me too.

Sure this thing works for the taillight-plugs, too. This is needed if you plan either to make a us-neon bux or reverse.
Have I already said, that I really don´t like to cut wires if not needed ?
Hardest thing is to make that if it is warm enough around you so that the plastic isn´t too hard and sprittle, disassemble the plug
carefully and find the hooks that holds the cableshoes.
If you once have released any needed wire you will be able to rewire it the way you like and avoid weak points (which you otherwise would have if you are cutting, soldering and isolating the wires).
