As far as the back coming off, remove the 4 screws for the picnic tray and pop it off. But there's nothing in there except the headrest drive. I think what you want is the controls under the seat. In that case remove the 4 rail nuts, run the backrest forward and pick up the seat and lean it into the back seat for the controls.

As you changed over the modules you now know they are working, so its not them. why are you looking at the steering wheel air bag now. if its that then you need to change the clockspring, I change the drives seat air bag. best way to do this is to take seat out take picnic tray off in the top left corner of the seat is the air bag which is held in place with 2 nuts. you will have to remove a couple of hog rings that keep the seat leather in place from the rear only take off left side then you can reach in and remove air bag which is plugged into the seat harness. save hog ring so you can reuse them. make sure you disconnect earth lead to battery first and give it 10 - 15 minuets before working on air bag to reinstall follow same procedure use to remove it let me know how you make out
