Fiat Ducato Pilote Habitation Door Sensor Issue

I have a Pilote G600 motorhome. Fiat Ducato chassis. It is a left hand drive, just FYI, so passenger seat on the right.

When I'm driving the rear door (habitation) warning light, flashes on and off, but only occasionally. So not a big issue, but annoying. So thought I'd fix it, or try. I managed to find where the issue lies, which is the wiring under the flooring in the cab near the passenger seat. This was after dismantling the door, checking all the connections, etc. By chance I went to switch off the ignition while testing the the door connectors (with it in bits) and suddenly the light went out, I moved a bit and it came back on. So put door back together and now I can reproduce the warning light going on and off by applying a bit of weight on the flooring in the cab near the passenger seat.

My problem now is getting access under the flooring so I can locate the fault exactly. From what I can see I need to remove the passenger seat, which should allow me to get some access under the floor. I think it's just two bolts at the front, and the rear then just slides off the rear bolts.

But just thought I'd ask on here is case anyone has done this before, or has a better suggestion on how to get under the floor.

Many thanks for any help / ideas

My pilote is Sprinter based so the seat mounting may be different but it has6 bolts, from sitting position, 2 in the front , 1 on the rear facing back into the Hab area of the van , 1 on the side towards the back of the frame facing the other seat, all 4 screwed to vertical straps and then 2 down trough the frame, you can see the holes when you slide the seat all the way forward, the whole swivel frame and seat can be lifted out, it's heavy and when refitting, secure the last 2 first ( don't drop the bolts down in the seat box ) the cabling is trunk-ed into the seat box and trunk-ed back out.
