Nothing personal but are you overweight??? If so, your seat may not like you. I would be
careful, It might buck you out, like a horse.

How can asking someone if they're overweight not be personal? lol

I'm 154 pounds. Is that overweight? Maybe my username deceived you - it has nothing to do with weight :)

As for the rest of your post, I never thought I'd use the following emoji... :horse:

I've got 100 lbs on him ... and many others on this forum even more ... I'm going to guess it's not his weight regardless of how tall he is.

I would say for best scientific method, rip the tape in two (one side on the moving side another side of the stationary side), draw a line through both pieces. Then you can see the lines separate after movement.

Haha, was just curious for ***** and gigs. Totally off topic to the thread.

Am curious to see what the culprit is of the creep issue is.

I don't have seat creep...but I do have seat drop. This phenomena is when you adjust you seat to its highest level and still your too low and those two elephant ear side view mirrors essentially block everything at the front from the left and right side angles....:shakes head:

You can raise the seat. There is a thread or a DIY somewhere.

I still don't think it's the drive slipping. My guess is that something is activating the motor every now and then. A friend's dog will push console/armrest buttons every now and then.

I agree. My best idea at the moment is that the switch is faulty. I'm no electrician - can a faulty switch activate itself from time to time?

That is one possibility. Could also be bad wiring, faulty module, and probably several other things.

Since you don't know a lot about electricity, I'd suggest downloading the FSM and showing the wiring diagrams to an electrically-minded friend.

Possible there is an ever so slight surge when you turn it on that is the cause? I still say unplug the seat harness and see if it continues to 'creep'. If not then you've narrowed the scope of your investigation. If it does then it points the opposite way. At least you are no longer battling the chaos of unlimited possibilities that way.

Update.

It's moved again. Here's today's photo...

Now that I've seen it twice, with photographic evidence, I'll be getting in touch with the dealer - the car's still under Nissan warranty.
