They do but there is a piece of spring metal in the switch terminal that sort of sits in a recess in the wire part which keeps it from pulling out too easily. The phenolic base material may be brittle so don't tug too hard.

If the terminal seems tight and doesn't want to release, use the blade of a small screwdriver behind the wire directly on the switch side of terminal to hold against the pull of the wire. You can grab the wire part with needlenose pliers and pull it out.

The same terminals are used on the solenoid mounted on the control valve if you are going to remove that -- also probably on the on/off switch in the dash.
