Linda , as far as I recall , you have an air-cool like mine .
to access the battery compartment behind the driver seat , you need to
remove it completely . The seat is removed forward. Move the seat as
much forward as you can until you can't, than you need to get a screw
driver and unlock a little switch which will allow to move the seat even
further and completely disengage it from the rail. the little switch is
located on the left side edge of the seat. you find it by looking at it.
