This has happened to a few people.

It cost this guy $150+ to have everything reprogrammed. I read somewhere that Nissan has acknowledged that this is a problem with the 99s, but I don't think they fix it for free.

Yea you dont really have much of a choice. Do you have a spare key? If so, try that. Theres a chance that it will work. If not you're just screwed. Have it towed to the dealership. As you can see from the other post it cost me $150 for 2 keys. Thats pretty much the going rate other people have payed too. Good luck to ya.

Does anyone know what the reprogramming procedure is? I highly doubt that all Nissan Dealerships have a special "key encoder machine"...
Odds are its something similar to programming a remote...turn the key in a special sequence, press the correct buttons at the correct time and voila! Programmed key! I'll hunt through my FSM tonight...
[EDIT]
Doh! No, I won't. I don't have a 99 FSM. Anyone with a 99 FSM want to look if the procedure is in there?

Another member here had the samething happen to them not to long ago. His mechanic thought it was the ecu but actually just was the immobilizer.

Dude that really sucks. Like fisher said, the same thing happened to me. My Nissan knowledgable mechanic thought it was my ecu as well. He wasnt aware of the immobilizer. Thats about what he told me a new ecu would cost. Man, that is a ****ty deal .Sorry to hear that. Any word on what made your ecu go?

What are you people doing to ruin your ECU?
I've tapped my ECU and run wires all over the place. Replaced tons of stuff in my car, etc. and my car has never given me problems.
