Default power seat switch

I guess I will ask again, does someone know how to replace power seat switch in a C4 1988 coupe with sport seats. The forward-back switch that is located in console??
Thanks

Are you having trouble just getting the console apart to get to it or actually replacing the switch with the new one? I have never changed one but have removed the console in my '88 on several occasions to get to the door switches, etc. I don't remember noticing anything special about replacing the seat switch. The console is a PITA because of taking so many little screws out but is not particularly difficult. Just need to be slow and careful. Good luck!

There some hidden screws. One set is inside the console under the Velcro matting. The other set is at the very front on each side. You may (but not 100% sure) have to pull the seats out so you can access the screws on the side both in the plastic back end and the carpet from the middle to the front.

I wasn't sure if you have to dis-assemble the console somehow or remove the seat and take side cover off of console to reach switch.I am looking for which way to access switch, Thanks for the response.
