Success!
Thank you aleekat and jimo.
The orange "PRESS" button easily pops off. View the receptacle looking across the center console. You can see the two orange ears which protrude down, inside, along the ends of the receptacle (front and back). Jam a small flathead screwdriver between the inside black rectangle and the orange ear. Pushing outward, away from the center of the receptacle, the ear should pop off very easily. View image to see the construction of the ears.
Unjamming the latch took more work. Tools that I found especially helpful were a stiff wire like a bobby (hair) pin, a thin steel blade (thinner than a butter knife - I used the visor clip for my garage door opener), tweezers, flashlight and prayer. I poked and probed extensively, then found the culprit: A thin, green piece of broken plastic, about half the size of a dime. I suspect it was part of the deck upon which the tiny seat belt bulb sits, as the loose piece was found adjacent to the bulb. Removed with tweezers, and all is well again.
I love this forum!
On my way to donate again!
