S60 Electrics: How do I remove the seatbelt sensor from driver seat?

[Hatevolvo]

I recently had vandals break my sunroof, causing glass to get stuck in the seatbelt anchor. WHAT a nightmare! The seatbelt anchor malfunctioned shortly afterwards (I cannot get the seat belt to buckle) and obviously need to get a new seat belt buckle, however the seat belt sensor is hindering this process.

I unbolted the driver's seat, and traced the seatbelt sensor wire to the underside of the front seat, but cannot disconnect the wire from the harness where it plugs in. Is there any way to remove the harness without breaking it? The whole seat is off, and I'd rather not drive the car into the dealership at this point.

Any help would be appreciated.
-A little frustrated with modern cars/electronics

If you've found the wiring under the seat then just un plug it (IIRC you should have a blue one for the seat belt sensor, Yellow - airbag and the other is for heated seats)

Be careful, as I think this has implications on the airbags for the passenger dash and seat, and maybe passenger curtain, if the car does not detect a passenger and you actually have one in the seat.

There will be a release somewhere on the connector.
Use a thin screwdriver.
