you need to take your seat out, then speperate the top of the esat from the bottom, i cant remember how that works but its obvious whe you look at it, then take the seat cover off , its cliped on with variour metal staple things, then it should pull up all the way to the head rest then youll be able to see exactly how the wire is set up and attached, just remove and replace i think, i dont know if theres an easier way....hope that gets you somewhere
