Driver's Seat - Disable

I finally got my seat comfortable! Yeah! (It's been a really long slog, trying to make it fit me.)

My truck is a 2020 F350 XLT - power seat, but no memory.

I either want to disable the power seat so it doesn't move anymore accidentally, or find out if there is some means of adding seat memory to an XLT (I can only imagine you need a whole new seat).

Thoughts?

(Pull the fuse?)

Maybe disconnect the harness under the seat in case fuse disconnects other functions ?

The yellow with red stripe is power on the truck harness side. This is violet with red on the seat side. If you disable this wire the seat will not move. The other functions will remain active.

I could add a switch...

How though, do I unlatch that harness? I can’t figure it out.

I tried pulling and pushing everything there. No go.

Thought I had it figured out... but I still can't get it to pull. Am I supposed to be trying to flip the grey thing up from the bottom? (I feel like an idiot on this one.)

Yes, and watched a bunch of vids. Never the right ones, though.

What other functions are you referring to?? Like the heated seat?
