Not too shy to talk

Ok, I'll look for the 4 screws/fasteners or maybe its shown in my shop book and make an attempt to remove. Does not sound like I need to disconnect the battery. I might try to remove the front seat. I somewhat watched an upholstery guy remove the seats when he replaced the leather. I might wait a few weeks to let the Texas hot weather cool down

Home away from home

You must disconnect the battery when doing something like this as there is a good chance of one of the hot wires touching something.

All generalities are false.

Always disconnect the battery when working on any electrical.

No need to pull out the seat. Removing the cluster only takes about 5-10 mins.

You'll spend longer wrestling with the heavy seat.
