2017 C7 Drivers Side Belt Buckle Replacement
Can anybody help provide any information or a YouTube link on how to remove and replace the driver's side belt buckle. I do not have a shop manual for the details. I have removed the seat and removed the T50 Torque Screw from the side, but I cannot see where to disconnect the electrical connection to remove the wire connector. It almost looks like you have to remove the base frame from the bottom to get to the connection? Appreciate any help or links.

You have to pry out / separate the orange clip, then the connector slides off. If the pretensioner fired, the connector may have melted from the heat and fused slightly.
That's the connector you're describing, right?

I was able to get to it finally. The connector is actually under the side of the seat and not under the seat. Had to pull the seat upholstery up on the side and it is actually connected at that location. Once I got to it, just had to unplug it from the connector and install the new one. Thank you for responding.

for figuring it out. Sometimes it can be a real challenge finding how things come off.
