2001 V35 Skyline Electric Seats Issue

Hey guys,

Having an issue with the electric seats in my V35. The electric seats are all working in my car apart from the switch controlling the back and forwards control on the drivers seat. Now the weird thing is that I have managed to push it all the way back with the switch, but it won't go forward again. I stuck my head under the seat and tried to check all the connections, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for xD I also checked for noises when using the switch and the motor clicks when I press to the switch back, but no when I press it to go forwards.

Is this a common problem with an easy fix? Or do I have to rip the whole seat out to get at the switches to change them out? And if I do, what is the part number/s that I would need to mention when getting parts?

If anyone knows anything then I would greatly appreciate some info :)

Cheers

If the seat went back but wont come forwards again it should be the switch. I see this all the time with electric windows.... which is the same electric principal as electric seats. ie one switch and one motor controls both up and down or back and forward. if you can take the switch out open it up and clean the contacts with a nail file.

Thanks for the reply.

Ended up just ripping out the switch unit and having a play with that but nothing. Then I unplugged the cables under the seat and plugged them back in and wallah. Started working again. I guess the connection wasn't too good. ><

Hope this helps someone in the future :)

      V36 coupe manual wreck

      By Pete_Repeat · Posted

      Anyone want to make me an offer to take my v36/g37 3.7l manual coupe in full? Off memory it was low 100k km but the battery is flat so can't tell right now. What's wrong. I had engine problem's that led to a nice clunk. It made it home but it wasn't pretty for the last few kms. Happened under revs. Sounds like bottom end.. never got around to fully checking or fixing it so the car has sat still and unregistered for a few years. Minor bump in front end set the pedestrian protection under bonnet airbag off and that was meant to be repaired, but while waiting for the repair (parts to come) I got the engine problem. The rest of the car is in decent condition. All drive line is good. All interior is good. Leather interior. Wheels in good condition and decent tyres although the ps4s are likely a little too old now it's sat still. Colour of the car is pewter off memory, the dark grey colour. In Camden NSW. Would need a tray back pickup.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.

      Speedo and odometer reading super slow r34gtt a/t

      By VicFlo · Posted

      HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA.
