Has anyone put a power seat from an LE into an SE? The lack of lumbar support and poor seat angle is aggravating on long trips. Since the LE and SE seat material matches on the '07, I was hoping someone might have done it.

I'd be interested in the answer to this too...

I have installed a set of the leather/power seats from a 2006 LE into my 2007 crew cab SE. the seat base bolts exactly to the existing holes in the floor. i wired in a 20 amp dedicated fused (circuit breaker) power supply from the battery into the cab and to each of the seats (you need the factory shop manual to decode the seat wiring in order to hook up the power correctly). the air bag sensors, etc., all connected directly to the existing SE wiring harness. I still haven't hooked up the seat heaters but will get to that eventually.

yea i don't think the wiring is there for the power/heat functions so the easiest way would be to do what trailblazer did and wire it directly and bypass the truck's wiring harness.

looking for heat mostly but power would be cool too. was heat only in the leather seats or cloth too? where'd you find your seats?

bump any update on this? will pathfinder or xterra seats work also? i really want power seats....

You could always trade in your truck on a new one with power seats .

Power Leather Seat Swap

I found a nice pair of leather LE seats from a 2006 Frontier on Ebay to put in my 2005 SE Crew Cab. Easy swap. All the connectors are there for the fasten seatbelt light and the passenger airbag on/off pressure switch. All you have to do is cut off the large connector and connect ground to the BLACK wire and power to WHITE with BLUE stripe wire. Make sure you install a 30 amp fuse in line for protection. I already had a dedicated heavy gauge power wire run under my drivers seat for the subwoofer amp, so I just tapped this source for my seat power. Thankfully, I didn't introduce any noise in my sound system when I operate my seats.

No seat heaters or air bags to deal with on the 2005/2006 seats.

I did run into the flashing Air Bag Warning light on my test run. I did the key on/off reset procedure found elsewhere in these forums and everything works fantastic now.

Got any pictures?

2008 Pathfinder power leather seats installed.

Finally got my seats installed. Seat seams to go back further and I can pitch the front of the seat up to support my long legs.

I really like them and they seem a little more comfortable to me.

How much trouble was the wiring? I was just considering the same putting SL or P4X seats in my SV with heated seats...

I direct wired them to the battery with a fuse.

This would be to power the seat mechanical correct? Are the seat heat and air bag items on their own plug that plugs up or does anything need re-pinning etc?

I did not run anything for the seat heat. The Airbag and the seat belt warning were both plug and play. I did have to reset the airbag lite after I finished because I disconnected the battery for the install.


I have a memory seat base from a 2006 Nissan pathfinder if anyone is interested. Could not figure out how to bypass the memory to power it so I swapped it for a non memory base.

Thanks for the info. The last time I did a seat swap was 89/90 and there was no wiring in those days...

I just did a complete seat swap in my 2005 SE CC using 2012 Pro4x leather heated and power seats.

I got the power and seat heaters working like factory. Got the two switches and pigtails from the donor truck.

i like manual seats in the frontier. but would like the xterra seats i have in my 07 into my 05 frontier. a decent amount more comfortable.

 

[ef9]

I too prefer manual seats over powered ones. But when the junkyard offered $100 for front and rear complete seats in good condition, I had to take them. These replaced the beaten up and smelly seats that a dog did a number on(previous owner had a dog as a co pilot).
