Question XK8 Seat switch removal

Hello,
I need to remove the seat switch (LJB6035AA) of my 1997 XK8 ... without breaking anything. There is no screw on the seat switch and the connector is merely accessible on the other side so I don't know how to disconnect the connector.
Any step by step recommendation?
Thank you!
Yann

Hello,
Here is a picture from behind. You can see the nose there. Press gently against the nose and lever it out. If the nose breaks, you'll be annoyed because the part will always come loose.
Schalter
Best regards, Willi

Hello Willi,
thank you for your reply and for the picture, but I'm not clear how I can press on the nose as it is inside the seat. Shouldn't I try to pull on the other side from the nose or push the connector?
Thanks.
Best regards.
Yann

Hello,
The nose is just stuck.
Kneel in front of the seat, push a little harder from right to left, or carefully pry it open.

Best regards, Willi
