Touring Seat Installation Help - No power or Heat!

Mr&Mrs

Im so confused. So im going to get a bunch of lights when I put in my aftermarket seats? I hope there is some kind of bypass plug I can use.

My 2012 was prewired, to see if you have the wiring you can pop the cup holder and you will see 2 plugs for the heated switch wiring and under the seat if u look there is an extra plug not being use. If you have these then the car is pre wired. The only thing I didn't confirm was if the relay was actually there but since there is power going to the seats, should be working.....

I told OP that posted this, he will just need to use a relay and wire it straight to battery....

If you can mount the seat belt buckle assemblies to the new seats, that should take care of that warning. Somewhere on this site, there is a DIY explaining how to use resistors to get around the air bag warning. There is also a DIY on removing the passenger weight sensor and installing it in a new seat - requires upholstery work, so that's out of my league - but I can't remember if it is on this site.

hate to pull a thread back from the dead. I am wondering if anyone figured out what is missing on the 2010 models to make it work properly? I bought some heated/power seats and just like delorean I found the wires underneath my base model seats taped up. After hooking up the seats I found no power was going to them. I also checked my cupholder when installing the heated seat switches but no plugs were found.
So now I sit with seats leaned all the way forward that cant adjust due to no power going to them. Im going to run a wire from the battery as a temp fix to hopefully get them to move. Would love to get them to plug in properly and get the heated seat function to work.

you are probably missing the relay or fuse, my 2012 had it. Take a volt meter to your harness under the seat, I have a thread showing u how I had power etc. That's the first thing u need to check. If the harness is there, most likely power is there for the power seats. Could be ur missing the fuse only.. so look at that first. Then worry about the heated seats.

yeah ill try to grab a guide and look. Im going by what delorean said about installing all the missing fuses and it not working. Some good news is I did tap into where the power should be coming from on the seats and did a direct connect to the battery to see if it would solve the problem. It did allow me to move the seats. so worst case I will just run power to the seats that way.

did you ever figure this out becauseI'm pretty much having this exact predicament, tried 2 dealerships and it was devastating how useless they were...

Ask around in the Audio section. Most of those guys have gutted the interior to install deadening material.

OK guys,
I have looked everywhere and am stumped. I have a 2009 Sport and have purchased the touring seats here locally. I do not have the heated seat switches under the cup holder and appear to be missing part of the harness under the seats that power the power seat function. I am pretty sure the 2009-2010 models did not come with the whole wiring harness or at least that is what I have read.

My question of course is what harness am I missing? I have been trying to solve this for the last couple of weeks and so far this thread has given me the most info but not quite enough to find and order the correct harness. Please, if anyone can help me I would be very, very grateful and throw some rep points at you. Thanks in advance.

If nobody comes up with a good answer, try contacting some place like Courtesy Parts.

Tried courtesy parts website and while it is indeed a great one I was unable to figure out what I need. The heated seats are not that important to me at this time (summer) and I can wait to tackle that project in the fall but I really need to be able to move the seats around.

Please, please, pretty please give me a shout if you can offer any type of info or advice. Thanks in advance.

Strange...my 2011 base/sport have all the harnesses ready to accept my touring seats. It was plug and play in my case...I wonder if Nissan left out those harness on the older models. I'll be working on the car tomorrow, I'll try to grab some pictures of the harness locations for you guys.

Do yours actually work? I have a 2011 base and just installed everything. Everything was plug and play, except the actual heated seats don't seem to work. Switches turn on and everything. Seat moves with the switches, just no heat.

Make sure a fuse is installed for the heater circuits.
