How does the wiring harness for the front seat disconnect? I don't see a tab to depress to make it come apart.
Any photos showing how? Can't find any in DIY section.

If I remember correctly there is a flip tab. You don't push it down, you open it to unlock.

I MIGHT be wrong so don't break anything trying to do what I said. I vaguely remember from when I did my lighting install.

There is a big slide tab that covers two sides of the connector.

Reach under the seat, from the rear, and grab the front and rear edge of the slide tab... It's on the drivers side of the big connector... Pull it to the drivers side of the car about two or three inches, then the male part of the connector pulls out to the rear...

Thanks, I figured it out a while ago. Fixed the broken wire for seat heat, ready to put the seat back in.

When you sit in the seat, the wire gets pushed against part of the seat frame and eventually cuts the wire. I rerouted it so hope it stays good.
