Car Alarms: 1993 Nissan Maxima security / ignition, silver dots, nissan maxima

Question
Just bought car yesterday for son... was warned alarm system could cause car not to start and advised to try the "key in door lock / lock, then unlock".  Sure enough, it wouldn't start - he tried and tried the lock/unlock, but didn't seem to work.  For some reason, he went to his trunk, opened it to get something, and after closing, he could start car.  Please help w/ quickest, EASIEST way to completely disable this security issue, so he will not have a problem in future.  Thanks you so much for your time.

Answer
ok, not a problem.

Get out some basic install tools or get
a friend or a good technician
in there to do this.

Normally, you would insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it. Yours was reset.
Try key in the drivers door, turn left, then
right to diasrm and unlock. If no joy,
you can disable it for good by doing the
following:

The FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE IS
light green/black-with silver dots |-|
at the anti-theft module.
The Theft Warning Module is located under
the dash, left of the steering column and
actually says Theft Warning on module.

Once Located, splice into this wire with
a simular guage wire, and put it to
a solid chassis ground. This terminates
the OEM alarm functions entirely.

However, at this point, this car would be exceedingly
easy to steel, so I suggest you get an aftermarket
alarm system to protect it from here on in.

If you have already have an after market alarm
however:

(SIREN & FLASHING PARKING LIGHTS= AFTER MARKET
or is it:
CAR HORN & FLASHING HEADLIGHTS= OEM-FACTORY)

Then look for the over ride/valet button under
the dash area, probably to the left leg region,
drilled into the plastic kick panel.

Then it's: KEY ON, PRESS AND HOLD IN BUTTON FIRMLY
UNTIL THE SIREN CHIRPS ONCE, AND THE PARKING LIGHTS
FLASH. THEN KEY OFF.

This is over ride, and the car should start.
The only thing that would work would be keyless
entry if it is installed. The alarm functions
have been suspended.

Let me know which applied to your issue.

Good luck.
