Need seat heater information - '95 850

I've read all the seat heater problems and got some very good advice, but I need to know a couple more things.

The problem: driver's seat not heating/passenger seat works and both led's operational. Investigation showed the red wire under seat loose.

Removed a crimped blade connector that appears to be the one red wire connects into. This connector not reusable.

Question 1: I assume I buy new blade connector (the white plastic rectangle and a separate connector which I guess inserts into the plastic covering after the wire is connected?)

Question 2: Neither my husband nor I are too savvy about what happens next. Someone stated the thermostat has to come dodwn from the seat foam and that a white disk surrounds it. We can feel "stuff" wedged up in the hole where the thermostat lives, but working blind, it's hard to tell how to get the thermostat down. Is a diagram available so we'd know what to feel for, how to do this? And then does the blade connector connect into the thermostat? There is another blade connector with an attached red and white wire. Does this also connect to the thermostat?

Trying not to have to take this to the dealer since it seem a minor fix.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Suzanne
