2000 Maxima electric seat problem

Pay a little more and stick with the green Nissan coolant. The water pump is a $500 job to replace.

My power ds is a big sticking going ahead,......but with some playing with it, it eventually goes ahead.

For lo, JRnNC hath proclaimed:

There exists a TSB for this issue, but it's a pain in the neck (and in the wallet) to take advantage of it.

When it's happened to me in the I30, it's always been fixable by the simple expedient of getting out of the car, pushing the slide switch forward with one hand and giving the base of the seat a firm shove forward with the other. This never seems to happen in warm months, for some reason.

There is a TSB on this:

There's also a lot of info on maxima.org.

We workshop manual for the 2002-2003 insists on Nissan coolant, has no silicates and this preserves rubber "O" ring seals, etc. They also request you fill with distilled water. I would follow the manual's advice.

Thanks to all who replied, went out and checked when i got home from work. Sure nuff, wouldn't move, for or bck, wiggled around some wires/ frame and it started working. I guess from reading the TSB, there must some sort of binding going on in the motor/mechanism and the 'kit' fixes that. Anybody know how much that kit costs? Wouldn't be covered under a 'hidden' warranty would it? How expensive is the antifreeze at Nissan dealer? Is it premixed, or do I add distilled water(been doing that for years in all my vechicles). Any suggestions or 'gotchas' when flushing? Thanks again , John
