Hello,

It is located underneath the back seat. I have included in the diagrams down below the instructions from your vehicle's manufacturer on removal and installation of the fuel pump. Please go through them and get back to us with how it turns out. Please feel free to ask about any other automotive questions that you may have. That's why we are here.

Thanks,
Alex

You said it is under rear seat.
1. Which seat? Driver side, passenger side? Backrest? seat itself. I have Nissan Repair Manual it doesn't say which. I loosened passenger seat nothing there.

Alex,

I didn't ask you how to replace the pump I asked where it is. Did you read my first reply which backseat is it under none of your illustrations answer my question.

Hello again,

The information that I have and that I have sent to you says that the access panel is under or behind the back seat. The fuel pump itself is located inside your vehicle's fuel tank. So if you are not 100% sure where the access door is, you can kindof line up approximately where it should be by where the fuel tank is. I have sent you all the information that I have available to me for your vehicle's fuel pump.

Thanks,
Alex

The fuel tank runs the width of the car. In other words from left to right of the rear seat. Obviously I cant see the top of the tank to see where the fuel pump goes into the tank. Saying its under the rear seat doesn't help. I took out the right hand rear seat nothing there.

Hello again,

I am sorry sir, I have no other reference material at my disposal. My suggestion would be if you took out the passenger side and it wasn't there, it will probably be on the driver's side. Sorry I can't exactly pinpoint it, I can only pass along the information given to me by the vehicle manufacturer. Please, let us know if we can help in any other way possible.

Thank you for understanding,
Alex
