    Hey guys,

    Back with another question. I was vacuuming the car and looked under the seat and noticed that there was an unplugged connection under the seat. I figured they were there for electric seats, but mine doesn't have electric seats, only the knobs and levers. I looked at the seat however and there is a connection going to the seat that works in the plug. I'm wondering what it's for is the seat isn't electric? The passenger side has one too, but a smaller version.

    The original seats were probably destroyed so replaced with manual ones, thats that I did to mine. Never really understood electric seats anyway haha, how many times do you change the position?

    edit: or not haha was a bit slow in replying

    The plugs for the electric seats are more substantial...

    Yeah I was thinking it was for no seat-belt warning lights, but I plugged them in, sat in the seat and saw/heard nothing. Did some models come with warning lights?

    Afaik the door mounted seatbelts (oem nissan not the klippan units fitted in aus) had a plug in them, possibly something that locks the belt if the door is opened while it's still connected to the seat latch?

    Series 2+ zeds have a seatbelt light in the dash, however it's only for the drivers seat.

    i have a series 3 and it has the same, i would have thought it would be for electric seats, however the passenger seat may have less adjustments = smaller connections??

    I think I figured it out. The seats are not original to the car, I think they're out of an Aus spec with seat belt warning lights, the car itself is a japspec, so I have connections to the car for electric seats and the sensors for seat belts also happen to fit them. I'm guessing the original seats leather and got ruined and they weren't bothered replacing them with leather ones again.
