This was pretty easy and the cost for the OEM wasn't bad versus an aftermarket one. OEM was around $35 and I picked it up at a Nissan Dealership and I've seen aftermarkets cost around $20. I'd rather spend the extra $15 and go with OEM. Let us know if you've replaced this part and if it was easy for you as well.
Quick tip on getting the old trunk switch out, push in from one side (the left) while prying it outwards. I’d recommend using something strong, flexible, and plastic so either a plastic trim removal tool, credit card, guitar pick (I tried all of these and it work surprisingly well) as not to scratch/break anything. If you’re careful enough, a screwdriver or pick will do you just fine. Just press in on one side while prying it out and it should come out with ease! Great video! I replaced this on my 2010 Nissan Altima 2.5SL. It worked fine but the rubber on the button itself practically “melted” and was falling apart.
Thanks for your perspective. I'm sure it'll help others as well. I wanna go back in time and use the pick tool lol. I bet that would have made clean work of it.
Thanks for the video. You can also pop out but keep the old button connected (held with 2 clips) and then pry the old button housing off (4 clips) to replace with a new one. I went through the whole process only to find out the “new” aftermarket switch didn’t work so I ended up doing this.
@@EverythingInBetween22 On our 2011 Murano there is a button on the outside of the hatch and one on the inside. Push the inside button and it lowers the hatch. Our inside button quit working. You don’t have to go out of your way. I was just venting because there seems to be almost no information on the inside button anywhere. 😎
What surrounding bracket? Are you talking about the bracket/housing that the switch snaps into? If that's what you're talking about, then you may need to go to a Nissan service department and ask the service employees for that part number.
Hi I’m looking to replace the same part on my Nissan Murano 2023. Do you think it’s pretty much the same process. I can’t find a video for the 2023 model. Thank you in advance
After looking at a 2023, it does look to be the same process. The part number for that generation seems to be: Lift Gate Switch - Nissan (25380-5AA0A) but type in your VIN number on the nissan parts website to double check.
There really wasn't an issue, other than the rubber had become soft/gooey and was falling apart. Every time we would press a button, it would leave black rubber residue on our fingers. So we replaced it.

What do you if the surrounding bracket is broke

I need a video on just replacing the button on the inside of the trunk hatch.
I'm not sure which button you mean.
