[Chrisbalkissoon]

I just wanna know how to remove the rear seats I'm planning on getting a whole new seat package from my local junk yard getting the back seats and the two front ones I just wanna know how to remove the rears also the new seats are from a 2002 pathfinder they are leather and are power seats I just wanna know will the power seats work in my pathfinder I got an xe trim so I was hoping I could make them work if not what can I do to make them work

Hopefully someone can help me out thank for the help if u can answer my questions

I would expect the rears to be pretty straightforward but haven't looked at them. Download the FSM on this website and see what it says. No idea if the power seats will work for you. The 2002 will have hookups for the seat power and airbags.

How do I download the fsm and yeah I know they are equipped with airbags I would love to get them to work if not I don't mind if they just sit in the seat and never trigger

FSM = Factory Service Manual. We have a link on this page for "SERVICE MANUALS" right near the top, like a pull down menu. That takes you down a course of choices until you get to the chapters of your FSM which are in PDF format and can be downloaded to your device or simply viewed online.

I'd start by removing your old ones so you get a good idea of what to expect at the junk yard and you'll be able to move quicker.

Yeah will do thanks for the help by the way do u know if the new seats will work in mine will all the plugs be in my car for the new seats or no

I can attest that physically the seats can fit easily. And the qx4 ones might be a little more nicer to your rear.

On the wiring, it is hard to tell whether your vehicle is prewired for the heated seats and airbags. (I'm leaning towards NO as I had a qx4 without the heated seats and there was no direct way for me to install some heated seats I got)

What I'd suggest is again looking at the seats section of the FSM (direct link below) and see where it says the wires should be, then checking in your vehicle as you remove the seats to see if there are any free-hanging plugs. Being an XE, they might have released it with completely no intentions of installing the luxuries at any point, but you never know.
Do you currently have powered seats?

No I don't have any power seats or heated seats I would love to have them they would be amazing and I checked for he plugs under the seats and under the carpet but nothing man this sucks but I saw some really nice black leather seats from a 2003 pathfinder it had power seats but I'm not sure if they were heated don't really care about the heated part as much more about the power seats but hey the heated seats would be nice if the seats I was looking at did have them the biggest question is how do I install them since my vehicle doesn't have any of the harnesses
