2:03 I am wondering about Step 9 - couldn't you just disconnect the wiring harness instead of removing the seat control altogether - or am I missing something important?
Thanks, this has been very helpful.

I think you could. I just took out the whole assembly because it was easier to not have to tape around the seat controls for painting.

@@SilverArrowAutomotive Ahh, I forgot about the painting you were doing...I was just replacing my door check-strap.
