HELP! Power seat switch replacment.

I need to replace the passenger side switches for the power seat. I have come here to ask if anyone knows how to get to that part in order to replace it. The switch that moves the back part of the seat doesn't move back and in an effort to try to wiggle the switch, I've managed to nudge the back of the seat in a position that renders it useless. It's stuck looking like an acute angle lmaoo. Any kind of help or direction is appreciated.

Never done this, so humor me, reading a manual.

Air Bag stuff is around here. Be cautious or you might set them off, and be REALLY unhappy.

1 - remove the seat
2 - remove the knobs
3 - remove the lower cover, 1 screw in the front, 1 clip near the pivot, and 5 tabs near the pivot, pull up, release a hook and another tab.
3a - unplug the switches, release 3 more tabs, then remove the little sub cover on top
4 - remove 2 screws and the switch
5 - remove the 12 pin connector


That was easy. I am tired, and I didn't even try to do it.

Thanks so much! Would disconnecting the battery help with not setting off the airbag?

I believe the usual routine is disconnect the battery, then wait 10 minutes for some capacitor to discharge. Please recall that pulling the battery cable will kill all your radio presets, and you will need the various security codes for the radio and Nav systems.
