I'm pretty...

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer with heated seats. For some reason the switch is always on, but there is no light on the switch itself other than the display on the console that the driver's side heated seats are on (and hot buns). Is it safe to just unplug the fuse switch in the driver's side fuse...

Has anybody else had this issue? I noticed this today after I got the vehicle going again. My explorer's parking sensors made a very different beep than usual. And my door chime sound changed from the MY2015+ chime to the pre 2015 chime. Any help would be appreciated.
