Question Where Does Crankcase To CCV Pipe Heater Wire Go?

I am replacing P/N 11157522931 and it just came in today. Common sense tells me where the hose ends go but I cannot see where the heater wire plugs in to. No TIS shows it or videos or tutorials or anything that I refer to.

Also, the original wire seems a lot longer. Does the length vary? The original wire I see goes down and to the right side of the intake manifold then underneath the manifold and then back upwards. I tried to feel around with my hand but can't really tell where it ends up. HELP! Thanks in advance.

Ok I found a pic showing where its supposed to go but mine isn't routing that way. I'm going to get a mirror and try to see what shenanigans are going on with mine.

I got in there and found it. It's right where the pic above shows. Now how to remove it is the next question. Do you just yank it out with some pliers or?

Some dude online said use long nose pliers blah blah Blu. So I bought some 11" long nose pliers and nope no can do.

All you gotta do is reach in there by hand and yank on the cable and it comes out (that's what she said). Yes I know better than to yank on the cable instead of the connector but hey, it worked.
