Default Cloth to power leather seat swap question

I just came across a good pair of black leather seats and had a question on this swap.


I have an 06 base, would a pair of 05 power/leather seats just bolt on?
is the wiring harness the same?
will the power portion of the seats be in working order?

I did seach and found nothing.

has anyone ever done this swap? do the 03-06 have the same wiring harnesses?

Yes, the seat itself will bolt in but you will not be able to use the power features because the harness that is on your car does not have the plug for the power.

This was the best I found. Maybe you can contact the guy. But the point is it looks possible.

power seat sucks.........i have them and they take forever to move, even if you're not sitting on them. i prefer manual, but it seems every car my family owns it's all powered.

i know the seats will bolt up but wanted to know if nissan used the same wiring harness for the base though touring model.

Power and leathers all i really want, the seat warmers i can care less about.

not sure if this helps but my 03 enthusiast has an extra harness in addition to the seat belt and airbag harness. i am assuming that the extra harness was for power seats and Nissan just put the harness in all the cars regardless of what trim for that year.

There may be the subharness.
I have 2 identical Z track models.
The one with the 6 airbags has the harness.
The 2 bag Z does not.
The heated function will require the relay and the center console switches.
