Default Getting Under a C6 Seat

I've got the dreaded "Intermittent Airbag Light" problem and I know you have to check the connector under the driver's side seat.

If any of you have done this, how the heck did you get under the seat? Moving it all the way forward and all the way up still only gives you a tiny bit of room to work under there. And I'm guessing taking the whole seat out is gonna be an ordeal.

You have to remove the front bolts of the seat, then the seat will tilt back enough for you to get under there to tie wrap the air bag connector (yellow). If that doesn't give you enough room, then remove the back bolts as well, then you can really tilt it back and for sure, you will get lot's of room. No need to remove the seat from the car.

I was able to reach in and cable tie together the big yellow air bag connector by just raising the seat all the way up and moving it forward.

There was some slack on the harness, but maybe I just got lucky. I have a Panduit tie-wrap gun that makes cinching up and flush cutting the tie an easy one-hand operation.

Mine was easy to diagnose as I could turn the light on/off just by shifting my fat *** around in the seat.
