I found a 1987 or 1988 Maxima at a local boneyard. The seats are excellent. I am not a maxima owner(no boo'ing please) and am curious as to whether or not these power seats can be operated manually? As you may have guessed by now, they're going in another vehicle, a 1989 Jimmy K5 4WD. $40 for the two, I thought was a deal... For anyone who's interested the rest of the car was pretty much intact... 3.0V6, 5 speed, Rims, power sunroof, etc. I'm located in North Idaho. For any K5 owners there's a forum very similar to this for Blazers and Jimmys at

Thanks for any help you might provide.

it would probably be some trouble to get them to work manually, but I bet you could get them to work with the power switches on them. I know for the 3rd gen (89-94), the harness going into the seat only has one wire - a 12V power so you could probably just wire up a +12V signal to each seat (which probably still have the harnesses on the bottom) and get them to work - assuming they still do work. This seems much easier than trying to convert them

 

Thanks Craig. That's the plan at current. I'm trying to get away from having to use the power to move the seat forward for letting people in the back seat. I may end up having to leave both the sliders from the original seats and bolt those up to the power. Essentially that makes it adjustable in two different ways. The drivers seat has 3 wires. One is 12V+ like the right hand seat and it has 2 others that head toward the console. Any thoughts on what those are?

Thanks again. Helpful information.
