you have to unlock the door with the switch after you press the button. Let me post the directions I used earlier today.

IMPORTANT: Before entering programming mode, have in possession all of the transmitters you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the transmitter, all previous codes will be erased from the memory. The other transmitters will not be functional until you program the transmitters again.

1. Close and lock all doors with the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch.

2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. NOTE: Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder each time. If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.

3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.

4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the remote transmitter. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. NOTE: Do not press the button more than one time in the above step. If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.

5. If there are any remaining transmitters (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. Repeat this step for each transmitter (including any existing transmitters).

6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition, unlock doors using the driver’s side power lock/unlock switch and open the driver side door.

after you push the botton on the remote try unlocking the door using the switch. Use both remotes becuase doing this erases the programming previously installed.

hey thanks again, i changed the remotes, turns out the two i used, neither one was the right one. neither had the right frequency, who would have though... lesson learned, never knew they had different frequencies, there are at least three that u know of now,

thanks for the input...

Yeah when I got mine from ebay (for $9.62 cents each, wow) I made sure the numbers on the back matched.

i really didnt take a good look at the other remote's number, well not enough to remember it, but the one i hace has a couple different numbers on the back the the one that i remember was different was the FCC number, now i dont know if that is different on every remote or the other numbers but anyway, all three were different and only one worked... FCC # ID:NHVWBU43 thats the number that was different, i didnt really look at the other ones, which are
CANADA::17881021333
P/N:282682Y/NISSAN

what is what i dont really know but thats whats written on the back of the one that works...
