my guess it would have to do with the doorlock timer or theft moduler. Im not 100% sure though

 

Had and still have the same issue. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....imple+no-start

You unplugged the alarm box itself, or just the relay?

 

The problem is the sensor in the door. Someone posted a picture of this recently. That is why the alarm goes off and why the unlock feature doesn't work.

 

i pulled the plug out of the box

got rid of the alarm now i dont have the door unlocking every door

i have resolder my timer soo i dunno abotu that one

Thanks

I had this same problem and took the door apart one day to see what's up. There is a magnetic switch that rotates with the key. Once to disarm, twice will send the signal to unlock all doors. Anyway the switch where the magnet passes over is potted (filled with epoxy) so there's no way of resoldering anything. Sometimes a nice punch next to the key cylinder will persuade it to work. Basically you need a new key lock switch.

 

All I needed was to wait for the weather to get warmer for it to actually start working as if nothing happened.

 

The alarm disarms? can you explain some other characteristics of this so called alarm cuz its never worked for me, the only thing I see is the little orange light that says "Anti-Theft" flashing as SOON as I turn off the car.

 

when you lock the doors it arms, when you unlock them it disarms

 

Try locking your car with the windows open. Wait for that orange light to go away after about 30 seconds or so. Then open, and you should get your factory alarm to go off that sounds like your horn beeping non stop.

 

Same problem here, now I'm using my "code" to unlock the door without trigger the alarm

 

should i get a new locking cylinder or what
i noticed this when my dimming dome light quit working
doesnt fade any more

dont know if that is related or anything

thank

I tried that already and it does not work, the light does not take 30 sec to come on after locking...my light comes on as soon as the key is turned to shut the car off...anything I can do?

 

Ever since I've owned my car it has had a similar problem. First of all, using the key on the driverside door rarely keeps it unlocked. It tends to re-lock immediately. I usually have to pull the handle while unlocking. Turning the key twice unlocks all doors, and then relocks them. I usually just use the key code. It's easier than trying to time the key turns.

 

You know mine does the exact same thing but I believe it started doing that after I took both door panels off and changed my speakers...therefore I think the panels were not placed properly holding down some of the door opening mechanism...been too lazy to take it apart and adjust it properly...someone confirm if this could really be the issue of if my theory is wrong.

 

so i guess the two turn to unlock all doors thing is 92-94 max cuz my 90 unlocks all the doors with one turn.

 

Yep... that's why I love ours. I just find it weird that 3 different spots on the driver's door alone controls ALL the doors. Though I loved joking with the wife... I would thump the lock down with my elbow down as she tried to get out.

 

On a similar note, my 93's driver's door will not open. Period. No results from using the key, the interior or exterior door handle or trying to raise the lock.

To get to the mechanism it looks like I have to destroy the door panel since the forward fasteners are concealed by the left edge of the dashboard.

Anybody else have this experience? And are we talking about the same defective parts here as earlier in the thread?

Thanks for any help!
