Switch box harness plug. how do you unlatch?

Is there a latch? How do you unplug this thing from the back of
the switch box?

i don't want to force and pull it off.

thanx

I have had the fuse box out when I retrofitted heated seats in an 04 MCS, but I can't remember for sure. It's either a catch that has to be mashed in, or it's a flip style latch similar to the one on the ignition switch or the toggle panel. Either way, it's not something that needs force. It is easy to release...I remember being amazed that I didn't need to yank it apart. You should be able to see it once the fusebox is rempved from the footwell, just look at the back. Download the instructions for the heated seat retrofit kit from Motoringfile. (It's not in the DIY section) Here's a link:

There's a pic on page 9 that may be helpful.

Are you using Ian's circuit? I'd contact him & see if he can help you. Most likely he can. If you have the other circuit maybe not. Best contact the person who makes those. Sorry, but I don't know who that is.
