New to this forum and trying to help out my friend. I'm going to try and give as much information as possible and hopefully I make enough sense to get some help.
My friend has a 2007 Murano SL and while looking on craigslis we found an ad for someone selling 2007 murano Black Leather seats since his seats are cloth. So we took the trip up there today to look at the seats and possibly purchase them. The seats all looked fairly good aside from the drivers seat which had two cuts on it. We bought the seats at slightly cheaper price and took it home. We started with the back seats replaced them and replaced the passenger seat which went from manual to now automatic. We switched out the drivers seat but before we bolted it on we wanted to test it to make sure it was alright like we tested the passenger. Drivers seat wouldn't work none of the control options would do anything. So we took the seat out and noticed two cables were disconnected from their motors and we figured maybe that's what it was. We tried it again and still nothing. So we thought it over trying to isolate what the issue might be. We decided to try the control panel from the original seats with the leather one. only two of the 3 cables that could plug in to the control panel on the leather seats would fit. the 3rd one was the main one whicch controled the tilting and moving options on the seat. But, we tried the two cables (pedal movement and lumbar support) We got nothing from the pedal movement but the lumbar support was working. Which made us think that maybe the leather control panel is just bad but at the same time we did a complete swap so why would the lumbar work but not the pedal movement? Anyway we gave up and placed everything back to its original form.
If anyone can assist me it would be most appreciated it does anyone know what it could be preventing the leather seats from working? my friend thought it might be getting low power such as we may need to replace a fuse somewhere with a different amount. or the control panel on the leather seats is just bad and we need to find another one to replace it with that will fit. Worst case scenario we could take it all apart rip the leather off and put it on the cloth seat but one of the supporting brackets is broken. so it wouldd probably be better to gut the cloth seats and put them inside the leather seats since we know the cloth works.
But yea i'm going to post a picture with the difference between the cloth seat control panel cable and the leather one. There is also a few extra connectors on the leather seats that connect to a white box attached underneath the seat so we feel maybe we need a bigger fuse but we have no idea where. I appreciate the time you guys take to read the post. Thanks.
the connector on the left is the original cloth seats control panel and the right is the leather seats one.
but yea we have to find a way lol. i was thinking of using a multimeter on the leather seat switch to see if its even having good contact it might be perfectly fine and there's something that we overlooked or didn't know about. but i do appreciate the link going to have to dedicate some time to this.
