Default Driver's side power seat has malfunctioned.

Hello everyone,

The driver's side seat no longer moves backwards and forwards in my car. When I use the switch to move my seat either forward or backward, the seat turns diagonally in its tracks. It's almost as if something is stuck in one of the tracks. I haven't been able to find anything in them however.

Nissan, of course, says this isn't covered under warranty. They want to charge me $800.00 to fix it.

I was wondering if it could possibly be the motor or maybe a switch has come unplugged? Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing this problem?

Kenny

Dont show up in your Z!! dresss like crap, and if they ask if its for you, say "NO, im working on this car for a customer of mine" pretend your a mechanic working on cars at your house or something....

also, they will most likely not part with the motor alone - unless the seat is trashed!! they may sell you the entire seat as a "whole" only - thats typical practice for most yards....
