Murano Seat Bracket Link Assembly Removal/Replacement 

Les Hopkins that sucks. Good to know. I'll pin this to the top so others know to check the front bracket before they start.

So, the only option is welding the front bracket? My front bracket is the problem at 245k miles.

Me too. It's crazy how so many of us have gone through this same issue. Almost feels like it should've been a recall. Same for me. Took me about 2 hours total to get it all done. I didn't have to take the side panel with the buttons, nor did I have to fiddle with the rear of the seat or any plugs there. The toughest part after tightening the nuts under the cushion (not easy) was lining the bracket up with all the other parts of the seat. The way the part came in it was very compact, but the rest of the seat parts line up at specific points and it's not easy to know this before you start putting it all back in. My suggestion to other people trying this is to try to line the bracket with the sides (specifically right side) when the part is not in yet so that you have the best chances of things fitting in nicely. Maybe it was just me, but this was the most time consuming part. Thanks Lorth Dradig for this video. Very useful and very helpful commentary.

Great tip. Thank you.

Wow! Did you run into any specific problems that might be helpful for others?

removing the old bracket was'nt so bad, but installing the new bracket was a different story..

Hi mate, did it work with the Right Hand Drive Murano? I'm attempting it in Australia but not sure the support link will work for the Right Hand

They are 12mm.

Les Hopkins that sucks. But now you are experienced, so it won't be as hard to do the front!😁

+Tick Tock I couldn't remember the size but after scanning the video, I found that it was a 12mm wrench.

the under the seat cushion screws are easy to remove if you first remove the screws that support the back part of the seat once you remove them you can really get in there very easy.. way better than pushing down on the seat.

I'm not really sure what screws you are referring to. Are you talking about the bolts that hold the back of the seat to the seat bottom? It's really not that hard to push down on the cushion to gain access to the nuts, as long as you remove the springs first. The purpose of my video was to avoid having to disassemble more of the seat to replace this bracket.

yes those screws, it was really easy to take the back part of the seat apart just a couple screws made the job much easier for me..

Great, I hope someone can use that idea to make it even easier. RU-vid really saves us home mechanics a lot of time and money!

It should work. You just won't be able to make use of the heated part of the seat.

No, I still haven't fixed the air bag light. My mechanic said it is probably an intermittent problem since it doesn't show a code. I can reset the light but it comes back, sometimes within minutes, sometimes the next day. The mechanic said it is most likely the clock-spring. He said you can have an intermittent connection problem that may not trigger the light until you start messing with the system. I hope to replace the clock-spring soon and then update in the comments.

ok great thank you im going to do this fix this weekend

Just make sure you disconnect the battery before you disconnect the air bag under the seat.

Will do thank you dude!

I did that without any problem but I can't guarantee it won't happen to you.

THE MAN IN BLACK, sorry I didn't see your question right away. You probably already figured it out, but those bolts that are hard to get at are 12mm.

Lorth Dradig man.... They were a pain! But I got it... I'd like to advise people who replace this to part to put some WD-40 on joints of new part, or axle grease... The new part was really stiff and was causing a strain on the seat motors. Thanks for the video, I watched a few and yours was definitely the one I went with! 👍👌

For the two tricky nuts, I removed the seat back (4 bolts...left the wiring intact and twisted it out of the way). Then unclipped 3 plastic fabric holders and was able to pull the foam down far enough to gain access with a 12mm combo ratcheting wrench. Tight squeeze, but not difficult at all.

+Lorth Chode - My friend- where did you buy the bracket and how much for it-thanks

+C 19 I purchased mine on Amazon. www.amazon.com/Dorman-924-227-Seat-Bracket-Assembly/dp/B00FQ0P1U8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460305547&sr=8-1&keywords=murano+bracket+link+assembly

Lorth Chode- thanks very much for your info.

You took off the negative battery cable but u hooked it onto the metal battery bracket hold down so its still technically grounded to negative from the frame

​@@imbrok3n882it is absolutely not grounded to the battery. If that were the case, then you would still have power throughout the vehicle. The problem was that there is a capacitor for the airbags, which holds charge for up to 20 minutes after disconnecting the negative terminal. I was not aware of this at the time. It's designed like that so your airbags will still discharge if the battery is disconnected during a crash.
