I got the code and I've pull out the plugs and plugged them back in but it still doesn't work.

Basically:
I can press the "C/ST" button and the pad lights up and beeps and then I try to press something else, enter the master code, and nothing beeps and it's basicaly off. Also it only responds when I press the "C/ST" button like once a day or once an hour.


Maybe the motor?

 

try the passenger side you might also try replacing the key pad with a newer one. the same thing pretty much happened to mine. i pu a new on in and now it works fine.

 

New question concerning key pad,.....the maxima i bought was repo-ed so when I bought it, I didn't get any owner's manual with it or a password for it? Does anyone know how I can go about setting the keypad up for a password?

 

Hush-em, try a search on this one. The code to change the number is located underneath the dash on the driver side. It's a pain in the butt to get. Programing isn't that difficult. Just beware that these keypads are great when they work but don't trust em on your life.

I use to make a practice of locking my keys in my car on purpose if I was doing any physical activity and didn't want to risk losing the keys. The last time I did that was when I went snow sking and the keypads froze. I was out there in the cold with a cup of hot water trying to thaw out the keypad for an hour. Finally we called a tow truck guy who wanted 50-80 bucks but eventually did it for free. So just be careful, they are great when they work but can be finicky in extreme weather.

 

Hey, Thanks! I got it fixed! The programming code was actually located underneath the glove box of the dash and not the driver-side. Anyways, I got it done. Thanks!

 

Opps, er that's what I mean, passenger side. Anyway you found it.
