Removal and Installation: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When removing or installing the seat trim, handle it carefully to keep dirt out and avoid damage.

CAUTION:

Before removing the front seat, turn the ignition switch off, disconnect both battery cables and wait and least 3 minutes.
When checking the power seat circuit for continuity using a circuit tester, do not confuse its connector with the side air bag module connector. Such an error may cause the air bag to deploy.
Do not drop, tilt, or bump the side air bag module while installing the seat. Always handle it with care.
After front side air bag module inflates, front seatback assembly must be replaced.

Slide the seat until the four body mounting bolts are visible and a tool can be inserted.
NOTE:
- If disassembling the seat after removal, set the front/rear cushion lifters to the top position.
Disconnect both battery cables and wait at least 3 minutes.
Disconnect the side air bag module harness connector.
Remove the four body mounting bolts.
Disconnect the power seat harness connectors and remove the seat from the vehicle.

NOTE: When removing and installing the seat, use shop cloths to protect the vehicle from damage.
