QuestionIm working on a 1996 infinity i30t at my shop and the customer doesnt have the alarm controller and the lights are blinking the security light is on and the car wont start. I disconnected the battery for a while and still wont go off. What can i do? please help an inexperienced mechanic.
AnswerOk, Japanese OEM ALARMS disarm using the
factory remotes, or, by using the key in the drivers door,
turn left all the way, then right to unlock/disarm.
If the latter suggestion does not work, then the next thing is
to tow it to the nearest dealership for new key fob
programming.
If it was after market, then there is an overide
switch that can be used.
(ie; look under the dash area for a button or,
a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the
ignition key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emitting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERRIDE.
This stops the alarm except for the key less
entry if installed. The next step is to
either remove the alarm or, try to identify,
and or, get new remotes for it.
But once in Valet mode, it will allow the car
to start and operate like there was no alarm at all.)
So, that's the options available at this point.
I hope you can work it out to your benefit, and
it turns out to possibly be an after market system.
Good luck.
