QuestionQUESTION: I just bought a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder LE from a dealer and for some reason when I lock the doors with the keyless remote the alarm goes off an hour later. So far it has done this everyday especially through the wee hours of the night and it's driving me nuts. It seems like it has a mind of its own. I'm pretty sure its a factory alarm. Can you please HELP!!!
ANSWER: Please be more descriptive if possible.
"GOING OFF?"
I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.
Is it: Headlights flashing, car horn honking
and a worded SECURITY" light in the dash flashing?
(doubtfull since none of the notes show this
car as having a factory alarm system)=FACTORY
Or,
is it: flashing parking lights,
an LED in the dash area, and a siren
going off?= AFTER MARKET
Let me know more on this to better
advise you on a course of action
to take.

QUESTION: Yes this is a factory alarm system because when the alarm goes off the headlights flash as well as the car horn honking.
AnswerThis "factory alarm", like most all other Japanese
factory alarms, works with the physical action of
locking/arming and unlocking/disarming.
They are intertwind.
There is no single wire to ground or,
spice into. To disarm these, a remote keyless
entry system would be required.
Of course the key in the drivers door, turn left
first to engage the alarm, then right to unlock
and disarm it, is how a factory alarm can be disabled
as well if it's working. But if damaged in some way,
the only other way is to add a factory remote from the
dealer, or an after market keyless entry system to make
the lock mechanism control the factory alarm.
Wish I had an easy to do method for you, but
I am just the messenger. I only get around the
stuff they throw at you all here! lol.
I hope this was helpful.
