Help tring to program key fob but can't get light to flash after inserting key
 
for some unknow reason I can't get the lights to flash when i insert the key in six times. I have tried many times it even did it like 10 times and still no lights flash. Has anyone had this problem? Its my blue maxima not the white one. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

sweet rides. Did you get in the car, lock it, and insert it 6 times under like 7 seconds?

euromaxima Jun 24, 2007 02:48 PM

yes I tried all that. it wont work for some odd reason

vuiskool Jun 24, 2007 02:55 PM

do the doors have to be closed?

Cdg2125 Jun 25, 2007 12:56 PM

did you have a key fob before? Usually if it doesn't blink it means you do not have security in that car. If you do have it then something could be wrong with the unit.

Sometimes you can do it too fast. Fully insert the key and fully retract it each time.

:sprint: That happened to me. Just make sure that you place it in and out COMPLETELY 6 times within those 10 seconds and the hazards should flash....

I guess something is messed up nothing is working and im doing the direction right so I will probably have to buy an aftermarket keyless entry kit.

nexgenmax Jun 26, 2007 05:36 AM

The instruction should program your remote. First time I tried it, the light didn't flash. So I tried again fully insert the key and try to do it the correct way, and it worked. Hope you don't have to spend money just b/c of this.

Snypa Jun 26, 2007 03:59 PM

Its still not working for me guys.I do think im doing correctly too, it cant be that hard afterall.First thing up, how do i know that my system is still working.?I beleive its working,because when i close all doors with the key it then starts to blink,but i wanna make sure i know how to do it before buying the key fob.Help Guys.!!

You need to troubleshoot guys, check your antenna wiring. 1st check wires on the exterior antenna, if they are cut do a clean cut and seal. 2nd is to check the internal antenna that would be the wire leads on top your defroster, maker sure there are no breaks in those line. Then the obvious question would be is did you replace tha battery in the fob? And if you did, did you clear the codes out of the fob? I think you have to place batt upside down. If you do a search you will find many troubleshooting techniques to help you. I think these guys have some....http://www.nissanhelp.com/

I never knew about that :gotme: I knew it was in other vehicles w/o a physical metal antenna for the radio.

The antenna is connected to the fob ecu the wiring on mine was cut, I did a clean cut on it and it worked.

If you pay attention to your defroster area, the first section of wires on top that do not run in uniform with the defroster wires....that is your internal antenna. Check it out, I know this cause when I got my max, the key fob didnt work and I think in the service manual it lists it as a poss. cause of failure when troubleshooting it....Too lazy to make an image but I just looked it up page EL-120 will show it to you.

Snypa Jun 27, 2007 05:56 PM
