Seeking Advice on Resolving 2019 Nissan Elgrand's Faulty Electric Passenger Seat Issue

Hey folks! I've got a weird issue with my 2019 Nissan Elgrand with a petrol engine. The electric seats seem to be on the fritz, and I've got a fault stored. Looks like the passenger seat is causing the problem. Any of you car wizards out there have had something similar and could shed some light on what's going on? Really interested in how you resolved this situation. Any tips and tricks from your workshop experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Summary of the thread

A 2019 Nissan Elgrand owner is experiencing issues with the electric passenger seat, which intermittently fails to move without displaying error codes. Initial thoughts suggest potential causes like a faulty battery, motor, or switch. However, advice from another owner with a similar experience points to a possible loose connector in the seat motor's connections as the culprit. Checking and securing these connections is recommended as a potential solution before considering more costly repairs.

Hey! I had a similar issue with my 2017 Nissan Quest, just its sib from the same Nissan family. Not any car guru, just have some experience messing around these things. Went to my local workshop and turns out, the battery was defective, so the electrical had its own mind. Good thing is, it only cost me 290 Euro to get it fixed. Just curious, you any codes popping up? Specific electrical issues you're dealing with? Get back with me on these details, we'll try to sort this out. Let's keep those wheels rollin'!

Appreciate your quick reply! Battery, huh? That's interesting. I was thinking it could be something related to the motor or the switch. No error codes actually showing up, but the seat just doesn't move sometimes. Seems more like a ghost issue! Been maintaining my ride well, clocking in at 122305 KM with the last service just a few months back. Well, I guess, need to give the battery a check then! Thanks for the tip, hoping for an easy fix too! Let's get those Elgrands roarin' again!

Hey there! Ghost issue in the passenger seat, that sounds familiar alright! Reading your reply, I wonder if it might not be a mechanical issue rather than electrical. I had something just like this. My passenger seat had its stubborn days too, no error codes popping up but still, it wouldn't budge. Having ruled out the battery, my next suspicion was the seat motor. Took it to my workshop dude, and you won't believe it, it was a bloody loose connector causing the fit! So, I suggest you give your seat motor's connections a thorough check before shelling out for a new battery or a motor. It's possible you're dealing with the same sneaky fault. Hope this helps, let's keep those Elgrands in the finest fettle!

You're a lifesaver! A loose connector, seriously? Who would've thought! It seems such a simple thing can cause such a headache. I'm no mechanic, but I've got a friend who can give the seat motor's connections a good look. Fingers crossed, it's just as you said, just a loose connector playing ghost. Will save me some serious dough if so. Greatly appreciate your help, really. Let's keep the Elgrand family helping each other out! Until next time, keep those road trips rollin'!
