Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, been away on the high seas!
The thermostats I got were from the scrap yard, I found that some of the seats were torn and the thermostat was sitting in plain site, so I grabbed a few.
I like Mikes approach of attacking the replacement from below, the only advice is do not tear the foam

Tailor - Did you have to unplug the battery when removing the seat? Is it fairly easy to disconnect cables & remove the seat? A few bolts. Is there an area that could be difficult in this process, or require some special tool & equipment?

You don't have to remove anything. you can change them by reaching up under the seat and just pulling the thermostat out the foam hole, disconnect, and replace. Takes 2 mins.

Not a problem - It’s just a switch,kellyent wrote: 17 Sep 2016, 22:42 The two wires going to the thermostat under my driver's seat are broken off at the clips, and I don't know which one hooks to which clip.
it’s not polarity sensitive.
Either one to either one.
