Nissan Repair: Keyless Remote Programming, interior illumination, nissan vehicles

Question
Just purchased a new keyless remote for a 1996 Nissan Maxima; have tried numerous times to program according to directions. Cannot get the hazard lights to flash, etc. Unable to program. Can you direct me as to what the problem may be? Still have orginal remote as well; even with new battery it will not work.

Answer
Khristy,

The following is from infinitihelp.com and shows the process of reprogramming the remote.  I bet you have already programmed 4 remotes into the computer and it won't take anymore.  Just follow the steps and you should be good.  Email me back if you need more.


REPROGRAM KEY FOB
QX4, 1997-2004 Q45, I30, I35,1999-2002 G20, FX, G35, M45, Most Nissan Vehicles
The horn chirp can be disable by pressing the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously until the hazard lights flash, and no enable press the lock and unlock until the horn chirp.
To reprogram (enter new ID) key fob (keyless remote controller) follow the steps.
1. Close all doors and lock all doors
2. Insert and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder more than six times within 10 seconds.
   (The hazard warning lamp will then flash.)
   NOTE:
   Key should be withdrawn from ignition key cylinder completely each time.
   NOTE:
   Do not rush the insertion/removal key cycling process. The side
   marker/tail/license lamps and interior illumination will flash twice when this step is
   accurately completed.
3.  Insert key on ignition key cylinder and turn ignition key switch to "AAC" position
    At this time, the new ID code is entered and original (previous) ID codes are erase.
4.  Press any button on the new remote controller once. (The hazard warning lamp will then flash)
    NOTE:
    Do not press the button more than one time in the above step. If the button
    is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.
    The side marker/tail/license lamps and interior illumination will flash twice when this
    step is accurately completed and programming is successful.        
               If there is only one remote controller skip  step 5.
                5. Additional  ID code entry
                Release the door lock, then lock again with door lock/unlock switch
                (In power window main switch)
6.  Remove key from ignition
7.  Unlock driver side door, open driver side door and then close the door. (END)
    NOTE:
    If you need to activate more than two additional new remote controllers, repeat
    the procedure on step 5 "Additional ID code entry" for each new remote controller.
    NOTE:
    Entry of maximum four ID codes is allowed and any attempt to enter more will be ignore.
