Car Alarms: disarming security alarm, nissan pathfinder, dash area


Question
Hi, my 1996 Nissan Pathfinder's alarm goes off periodically. I'd like to just shut the alarm off but I don't know where to look for a shut off switch.

thanks

Answer
Look under the drivers side dash area, possible in the plastic kick panel area.

Then try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

I hope this helps.
