I'm almost embarrassed to ask this, as I got stuck before I could even start a job! My driver's side heated seat isn't working. Fuses all OK, so I thought I'd check that there was 12V at the connector when the switch is on. Problem is, I can't get to the connector!
Hayne's manual says to undo the rear end-cap of the trim panel, unclip it from the trim and withdraw it, but I can't for the life of me see how it's clipped on. Even probing around through the VIN inspection hatch I can't find the clip, and the panels are made of very thin bendy plastic. Before I apply too much brute force and ignorance and snap something can anybody shed any light on how to get the darn thing off?
BTW, the car's a '99 pre-facelift CDX,
Thanks in advance,
Chris

There is a screw holding the back bit in. The clip is a bugger, just have to be a bit brutal.
It won't be a wiring problem, it'll be the heater pad.

hi just swapped mine over at the back of the seat runner near to the doors there is a black screw that needs to come out . yhen
you be able to remove the back bit and slide the long plastic towards the front of the car..

I took the screw out, everything's slopping around there but I just can't get the two bits apart (with the amount of force I've tried so far). Is it just a question of pulling the rear bit backwards, or do you need to stick a screwdriver in anywhere?
PS interested you say it'll be the heater pads - is that a known weak spot?
Thanks

I've not come across a 'knack' of seperating, so use the brute force method :-[
Oh yes, its always the pads...
