Hey Everyone so I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima GLE with heated seat, power driver seat but the passenger seat is a manual seat. From my understanding the 1995 Nissan Maxima was never offered with a power passenger seat and only the 1996 and later model offered it. If I'm wrong, someone correct me. My question is if I swap a heated and power passenger seat into my 95 Maxima, will the power and heated part of the seat work? If so will it work with the factory wiring (as in plug and play) or would I have to modify the wiring to make it work? Also is it correct I can use any 4th gen seat as in all 95-99 Maxima and 96-99 Infiniti i30 have the same seat? I also can't find a video or good instructions for seat removal on a 4th gen, so if anyone knows a source please let me know.
There are 4 bolts - one at each corner - to remove the seat. My '98 came without either seat being powered, but the wiring plugs were under each seat, so it was plug and play. Look under your seat for an empty plug to determine if yours is the same.
I’m pretty sure all 95-99 GLE Maxima’s came with leather seats and power on both sides. Heated seats was an option. Your car should already be pre-wired for power seats, and since you have a driver side power seat, the passenger side wires should be there. Maybe the passenger seat was replaced at one point?
Edit: I believe you may be right about the 95 GLE only having a driver side power seat and a manual passenger seat. The wires should still be there regardless.

Ok so I went under my passenger seat and I see 2 connectors. The connector on the left is connected. I believe it’s for the heated seat. The second connector on the right is not connected to anything. Is this the connector that connects to the power motor for the power seat? I’ve attached a picture.
