I just went and had my windows tinted and when I got home from doing that I noticed that my keyless entry no longer works. (HUH? Exactly, what im thinking since he worked on the windows)
Anyone know which fuse belongs to it? I looked at the little fuse panel and none of them specified for the keyless entry. I tried my spare remote thingie and that didnt work either so I know it's not the battery.

Anyone have any ideas if it's not the fuse?

98 I30 btw.

 

somebody here might have the instructions to reprogram your remote...I think that would be the easiest thing to do...

 

Did you by any chance get metallic window tint? And are you sure the keyless entry doesn't work? Does it work if you're in the car or really close to the car, or just not at all?

The reason I ask, is that in some cars, the keyless receiver is under the rear window, and it's not uncommon for the keyless range to go down if window tint with a heavy metallic content is applied.

It's just a possibility...if it doesn't work at all, then the tint isn't the reason. Also, I don't know where the keyless receiver is in the I30. I just know from prior car experience.

 

Hmm.. I never thought about the metallic tint affecting the keyless remote. I got metallic tint at 6% but I just tried to lock/open the car with the keyless remote from inside the car pointing it in every direction possible and still no luck.

Makes sense though cause I know the metallic tint affects radio antennas/reception when the antenna is mounted on the rear winshield. Doesn't seem to be that though cause I tried from in the car but what else could it be? I mean he only tinted the window. Could it be possible that the tint 'unprogrammed' the remote?
I found a guide for reprogramming a 95 Maxima keyless remote but have no idea if the guide applies to a 98 I30

 

the programing for a 4th gen max applies for a 1st gen I30.

I believe the reciever for the keyless entry is in the trunk.
