Where would I find the codes for my Maxima to use the keypad on the doors ?

UPDATE ** Thanks for your replies. I found the code in the trunk and have since reprogrammed my door locks. One final question, is it possible that on the 1987 models you were unable to roll down the windows with the key codes ? There is no "WD 5/6" as per the tutorial. There is a "TRK 1/2" ... don't know what that one does !?

Thanks again !

look in the tutorials, it tells you exactly what to do, except for as a 2nd generation maxima your "box" that your master code is on is in your trunk, under where the speakers are, so climb in and look up.

good luck

if this doesn't help, email me at akakaren@sprint.ca

you have to get that 7 digit number off of the box in the trunk. it will start with an S i think.

door pad #
 

yes, theere is a seven digit code that begins with S then number. it is located on the keyless entry control box which should be located in in rear of maxima. in the wagon its found just behind the seat by pulling out the hard foam casing for tools. then once you get the number just shut all doors, press the ST button then the seven digits. at this time a constant beep will sound. this is when you press in your desired personal code.
okay i hope this helps.

That is really weird!
 

Why in the heck does the drivers door not work on its own? I take it from all of the post that the drivers door does not have a "power" door lock motor on it?

Thanks,

Duffy

Ummm, that's only true for the 85-86 SE's if I remember right since it doesn't have an lock actuator nor that ability to unlock all doors with the key (you have to use the switch instead). The GL's and GXE's with keyless entry should work for all doors including drivers, and the 87-88 SE's have the ability to unlock all the doors with the key.

My 87 GXE wagon unlocks all doors, including the hatch, with the key, in either dr. or pass. door, but will only lock all doors from the drivers key...

TRK will pop your trunk. And on my 88 GXE the drivers door would open if i entered the code without the key, and if i press the unlock button on the keypad then all the other doors would open. And if you opened the drivers door with the key all the doors would unlock, which was a stupid feature IMO. Would've been better if it only opened the drivers and if you turned it again it would open the rest.

Another question!
 

First, I want to thank everyone for their responses.

I tried to get the door panel off today to check out the locking mech. on the drivers door and could not get the inside handle loose? Any ideas? It doesnt look or work like the one that is in my Chilton's manual for a 85 Max! I tried six ways from Sunday to get the handle or the plastic surround off but to no avail! Help!!

I got the key pad working and it will unlock all the door EXCEPT the drivers. Using the key ONLY unlocks the drivers door. Puzzling!

Last question, how do I know what model I have? No where on the car does it say SE or anything like that, only Maxima and of course Nissan. I don't have the owners manual, it was lost about 50,000 miles ago!

Thanks again for all the help!!

What color is the trim? Is it chrome or black, also since you have an 85....is it an auto or stick? SE's have black trim, and in 85-86 all SE's were sticks, and GL's were autos.

S

Trim Level
 

I must have the GL trim level. I have mostly black trim with just a little chrome only on the outside. And its an auto. I have never owned an Nissan, but really like this car. In it time, this car was a sharp one, now at 135,000 miles, it run like new, and shows the wear of maybe 50,000. You guys are good to help and all, Ford Truck World Forum could take a lesson or two from this Forum!!

how about for 85 wagon?
 

where do I find the cod for wagon?

It is in the back under a panle of some sort on the floor it looks like, I will scan in a shot from this book I have so you can see.

Ok maybe I won't put in a pic for you can do that in here lol sorry

I have just bought a 1985 wagon.. I cant seem to find the code anywhere in the back.. I took out that metal piece right behind the back seats, and it just had a bunch of electrical fuses/wires.. i couldnt find a code inscribed on anything..

tahnks for any help you provide...

btw.. im LOVING this car.. i had a 89 accord before i was run off the road into a utillity pole.. this car I stole for 1200$ (he was asking 1550$) .. ALL the electric 'goodies' work, the engine is CLEANCLEANCLEAN only has 158k on it, is powerfull as all hell and has the smoothest, steadyest<-? ride i have been in.. (ownd a 92 celly, 90gts celly, 86 mustang, 89 accord)

without a doubt, this car even tho it's the OLDEST i've ownd, it is the best running.. top end hasnt been touched yet (i wnat to change the oil first) but i know it will hit 110/120 .. so much power and pedal left @ 80mph it's not even funny!

anyway.. great board and ill be comming back ..

You are in the right area it is under that panel and to the far right side if you still cant find it sned me an e-mail and I will send you a pic from this book I have that will show you. keith_u@yahoo.com

i only get a 6 digit #
 

i got an S followed by 030185 can some one tell me how to do it.. i got an 87 maxima in mint azz condition

If memory serves me right it is a 9 digit code. but once you get the right code you hit the start button on the keypad and then punch in the 9 digit code after that it will beep for a few seconds and while it is beeping you need to put in your code but it can't be in order IE 1234 i don't think you can use the same key 2 times in a row. Once you get that done then hit the start key again and try your 4 digit code and if it worked the drivers door should unlock if it is locked (make sure you have your keys out with you lol) then you will have a few seconds to hit the button to unlock all doors and even pop the trunk.

Hope that helps ya

Oh and man do I miss my old MAx she was a great car, motor gave up at 300,000 miles so i can't complain lol

Thanx alot
 

so the # i got it wrong?? it's in the trunk right and starts with an S right

yeah it is in the trunk. there should be 3 boxes the one in the middle should be the security box ,on that box there is like 3 or 4 sets of numbers and the 9 didgit set is the one you need

Thanx again
 

i'll check it when i get home and tell you how it goes thanx man

no problem good luck with it.will check in tomorrow to see if ya got it

im coming to your house and im gonna sit in your maxima since i have the code to get into it, and ima change your code again as well to something youll never think of...LOL!

Holy old thread... :lol:

Sweet............locked the keys inside a maxima and it had a dead battery.

Did you guys know about the driver's side signal light in the bumper has a provision for you to power up the systems from there so you can type in the code?.........and that it actually works?

sweet.

Sticker in the trunk

I really need to destroy the foam to retrieve this number?https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5n...2YTJk&hl=en_US

I can't seem to find the code on my 86 Wagon, I looked under the tool trays and nothing. Anybody have a location discription or picture...
