Hey guys - just bought a 2000 SE with a broken passenger-side power seat switch. I wouldn't be so concerned about it if I could still move the seat backwards and forwards, but this functionality went with the switch. My first question is - am I correct in assuming that the switch is the most likely cause of the seat not moving?
But more importantly - does anyone know where I can order this part from so that I can fix it myself? The dealership wanted $700 ($500 for the part, $200 labor) to fix it which sounded outrageous to me.

Does the seat try and move at all ? If it does and seems just stuck you may have a coin stuck int he track . If it doesnt you can try lightly tapping ont he motor while holding the swtich and it should start to work . Probably a bad motor but usually tapping on the lightly with a small hammer will do the trick .

my year maximas are known for having bad seats. the seat does move, just forward and backward. where is the motor located?
That same thing is now wrong with my maxima 2001 and my friend has the same problem. no forward backward or lumbar adjustments. Only the recline and the seat height works. Does Anyone know how to fix it?

generally there is no easy fix other than to replace the motor itself. same thing happened to a friend's relatively new accord but was covered under warranty. However, before you go replacing sh*t, check the track, as a wise person has probably already suggested. its relatively easy (not speaking for maximas but from other cars) to repair this problem yourself. luckily, the $500 quote for the parts is grossly exaggerated. you could probably find what you need for anywhere from $80-200 online. i priced out the switch and the motor. each part was under or around 200. good luck

My fron passanger seat went out once. I took the entire seat apart, cleaned the motor and opened up the switch. What I found was a burnt up track on the PC board. It is very simple if you look at it. The tracks are wide and I just used some solder to jump the burnt gap and covered with clear nail polish. It will take 2-4 hours depending on your skill but can save you some $$$. If you have detailed questions just PM me.
