Electrical – How to separate these wires

ceiling-fanelectricalfanswire

My ceiling fan stopped working and I want to remove the light box from the fan so that I can replace an in-line fuse holder. In order to separate the light box from the fan rotation device, I need to unhook/disconnect/unsnap these wires from each other. I don't know what these are called otherwise I would have performed some more thought out searches online.

Does anyone have any idea how to separate these wires? It looks like there's a little snapping piece that locked them in, but before I start messing with it too much I thought I'd ask. Help.

You should be able squeeze one of the connection heads and pull them apart. Some light kit also have a little tab on the side of the connector that have to be push in or pulled apart to release them.
