once again i ask does anyone know whaat exactly dies in the seat?

 

my 2000 power seats will tilt but will not slide forward or back, is this your problem?

 

Is there any way to manually move them once the electronics fail?

 

my seats will do everything except raise up and lower

 

well. the motor could have failed.
when u press the button? do u hear any noise, does your seat at least try to move? or is it totally dead?
This was the problem with my seat: when i pressed the button, i would hear the motor for a split second and then nothing and the seat would try to jerk forward and then stop.
I took it to a dealer, after spending the whole day looking at it they tell me " you had a dime stuck in the rail it prevented your seat from moving and burned out the motor". *blsht* i heard the motor, so it wasnt burned out. anyway
i took the seat apart. there are three motors. one for forw/back one for tilt and one for up/down.
found a motor on e-bay for 50 bucks .. replaced it. and now iam happy. btw i still have one more spare motor if anyone might need one.

 

all in my seat works except for the back and forth, i click the button and hear nothing. it does not try to move at all. the motor you have is for which movement?

 

All 3 motors are the same. i think the only difference is the wiring harness is different shape . but i think u can rewire it if anything. i believe its the one for the tilt or up/down. ummm. has to be since i used the one for sliding of the seat.

 

There's a TSB out about the seat not moving forward or back. Check this out: http://maxima.theowensfamily.com/tsb/NTB02-001c.pdf

 

YEAP. funny thing the dealer didnt honor that TSB for me. conviniently they "found" a dime bent in the track of the seat and said " since the dime is the reason for burned out motor .. it is your fault, you have to pay for the new motor" total w/labor about $600 .. so i showed them the finger and did it myself for $50 .. hehe

so just make sure they dont make up some funny story at the Nissan STEALership

 

yea cant do anything with a tsb if i am over my warrantee

 

ok, so i call esserman nissan and bill seidel nissan hear in miami, and they tell me i cannot have my seat fixed because "the tsb is just to aid the technician in correcting what is wrong with the seat." i was also told that you cannot just replace the motor, you have to replace the entire assembly. qouted 2 grand for it. i then laughed in his face told him it could stay dead and hung up.

 

ok now who was it that had the motor for sale?

 

well i have one

 

Shouldn't this be a warrantied item on an '03? I just found the same problem on my '03 SE

 

most likely if you are under warantee they will fix it. but i am not.

hey gold max how much would you sell me your motor for?

 

my 2000 gle driver side doesn't tilt. I am always in cruising/low rider mode.

Lucky for me the seat goes front/back. Nobody smaller than me can drive my car due to this problem.


Anyone know an easy fix for this?

 

new motor...
