Hey guys, well my mom recently picked up a used AE. Tonight for some reason the factory alarms keeps going off every 30 mins. I have no clue what it is, I have opened and closed every door and window. Same for turning stuff on and off. It has happened three times now. Any got a clue?

 

check the map light switch.. the battery saver will turn off the light, but it will set the alarm off in 20-30 mins.

for more info, see the TSBs about it

 

I had this EXACT problem. And it took me weeks to figure it out. And guess what it ended up being? NOTHING. Actually something internally. What you need to do is remove the cable from your battery for 24hrs and then reconnect it and then see how it does. I did the same, and the alarm never went off every 30mins. I dont know how the hell it solved it, but it works now.

If either of the following conditions exist on a 2001 Maxima - - The anti-theft alarm activates 30 minutes after parking the vehicle when the map light is on, and the vehicle is locked. AND/OR - The trunk lamp will not light when using the key toopen the trunk 30 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off. the cause may be the trunk room lamp circuit connection to the battery saver feature of the Smart Entrance Control Unit (SECU). If either of the conditions described exist, performthe Trunk Room Lamp Circuit Re-routing Procedure in this bulletin to connect the trunk room lamp circuit directly to a battery circuit. A Sub-harness kit consisting of two wire tap connectors and a sub-harness wire is available to complete the re-route procedure. When the trunk room lamp circuit re-route procedure is complete, use the Confirmation Test in this bulletin to verify the incident is resolved. See this bulletin for detail.

 

ok guys, now i thought i had the problem sovled only to have it come back, its making me mad and the neighbors. hehe......i want to go put and aftermarket alarm on there but is there anyway to disable to factory alarm rite nowww.

and would a aftermarket alarm disable the factory alarm or would i still have this problem?

 

You didnt specify what you tried? Did you do what TimW said or what I said?

 

sorry about that, well i check all the switches in the car including the lights and map lights, i tried removing the cable from battery for a day, i called nissan and they said $80 to check it out. But i was just thinking to use the $80 towards a new alarm.

the only thing i didnt try is the trunk thing but i dont really understand that.

 

You SECU is tied to EVERYTHING.. even an aftermarket alarm will use the SECU to control doors and truck.. you'll have to fix it regardless
