If I recall correctly there should be a pair of phillips screws holding the front valance onto the seat, one on either side underneath the bottom edge. They may be clips and not screws, I'm not sure. Once the valance is removed the side panel just pulls free. The metal pawls that hold the front portion of the panel in place usually stay in the seat frame, but don't leave them there. Pinch and pull them, then put them back on the plastic posts before reinstalling the cover, otherwise you'll probably bend and damage the plastic posts. The knobs on the switch just pop loose and there are two phillips holding the switch in. Take the screws loose before attempting to remove the electrical connector (or use a small hook tool, the connector's release tab will be on the wrong side).
