This is a 99 car, last night the car just wiped the key memory so the security light would stay on after key was inserted. Started and ran for a few seconds then shut off, now it just cranks. So, does the car need to be towed to the dealer or do they just need the key and or VIN number?

 

the car needs to be towed in to nissan

 

Unfortunately they have to reprogram the ECM and the keys all at once with a new ID. NATS FTL.

 

I wonder who's car this is DAVE....

Sorry for off topic

 

You could've called the dealer, they would've answered that right away 4 ya

 

For ****s and giggles, try to disconnect and reconnect E13/F36 and E14/F37 as well as the sub-harness for crank sensor right inbetween the radiator and front valve cover, right above the engine cradle crossmember.

 

thanks buddy, didn't know dealers were open on a ****ing sunday...

 

I rather get Rick Rolled for ****s and giggles.

 

"rick rolling" hasn't been funny for 6 months now.

All fixed. Towed to dealer, programmed key and all is good.

 

Great !!

 

Was this the first time this happened to you? It happened twice for me and the second time they wanted me to get a new ECU for $1300.

 

first time. They key is sort of damaged so it was a matter of time before it went out...
