14N Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Hi guys, I want to remove my seats to give them and the interior a spruce up. I have the heated electric GT seats and (with the airbags in mind) will disconnect the battery before unplugging everything. Obviously this means I won't be able to adjust the seats once this is done. I'll slide the seats folly forward and backwards to remove the 4 mounting bolts first, but, is there a seat/tilt position which makes the seats easier to pull out the car? i.e. tilted fully forward? Cheers in advance, Ian Edited January 12, 2014 by 14N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 After taking out my std seats i would say tilt forward, thats how they seemed to come out best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 As above, tilt fully forward. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd probably agree with that, they're fairly cumbersome anyway so I doubt if it will make much difference. Just make sure you label up all the wires so you know what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 You finally caved and purchased those orange seats huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 What orange seats? No one has ever mentioned anything about having a spare set of orange seats in their way that they're desperate to get rid of. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Another query (but not ).... If I were to start the car with a seat 'unplugged', would this trigger the airbag light? And if it did, would the airbag light go out once the seats are plugged in again? Haven't started yet, but like to have the answer to all the 'what if' questions before I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes, and you'd need to do the key on off reset to turn it off again. Certainly I had to when I installed a resistor to fool the system into thinking I still had an airbag Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 That's what I thought, cheers Matt, I'll leave it alone then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Be careful with the connectors under the seats Ian they are a pain to get to and each is a different type! Not much in the way of slack in the cables either I took my seats out now and again for cleaning and rerouting cables etc, its also easy to give the seats a really good clean up too and not a big job once you know about the connectors its 4 bolts each side, 5 minute job Sent from the golf club... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Cheers Dave, appreciate the advice No worries, oh and yeah definitely fold the seats forward a bit, I made that mistake first time round Really does make cleaning the interior a doddle and like I said you can really clean the seats up too in relative ease Sent from the golf club...

14N Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 HELP PLEASE! Anybody. Somebody..... How the heck do the yellow and white block connectors come apart?? Appreciate this'll be difficult to explain over the forum, but they've got me beat. I'm gonna end up breaking something soon! The seats are unbolted and free, the battery is disconnected but I've fallen at the last hurdle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 some of the connecter can be a right sod.....use a small screw driver to help push the retaining clip m8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Further update: done it! What a crappy design Nissan! Bet the connectors are German 5 minute job now I know how they work. Just hope the driver's side is the same.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
