Ok does anyone know about the "Yellow" airbag connector under the driver seat? Chick on YouTube says both batteries have to be unplugged for 5 minutes then turn on lights, honk horn and drain charge from everything before pulling that connector apart. Both batteries sounds like the little one behind the passenger wheel well. Has anyone removed front drivers seat? What was the process? Damn used to be so simple and easy to take a damn seat out , but no, not anymore.

Is the Aux battery not wired to the main battery where I can unplug from engine compartment that way? Or do I have to remove the inner fender?
This can all be unhooked from up top.

Check out the posts on AUX bypasses. You're doing the same thing (mins the F42 fuse removal) but also disconnecting the main.

Removing the seat is 4 bolts + the wiring harness. I would recommend also removing the limit straps and wiring harness from the front doors, like you're going to remove them, but just open them up until they touch the fender - makes taking the seats out MUCH easier:

Dang I wish I had seen this earlier, I just finished up both JT's. This looks much easier. FYI the 23' has the fuse box apart from the cover to access the aux battery, super easy to get to now. 22' more complicated but its done.

you don't need to worry about this fuse box and everything just do it carefully and know what you're doing. It's really designed for morons to plug things in wrong. I've done several of these.
