Question
one day my alarm went off as I opened the door and couldn't be turned off with remote. The car would not start. I opened the rear hatch and the car started but alarm remote won't work even with 2 sets of new batteries. Is there a reset button/ Where?

Answer
Michael,

I do not know the year of your Nissan.  But, if it is the factory alarm system you have either something going on with one of the pin switches, door, hood or trunk or the remotes have lost their memory.  Here is how to reprogram the remote.

steps to program a remote, annoying but easy
step 1: get into the drivers seat, lock the door with the main switch
step2: put the key in and out of the ignition slot approx 8 times, you’ll see the hazard lights flash
step 3: after the hazards flash put the key in the ignition and turn to the on position
step 4: unlock and lock the door using the main door switch
step 5: press lock button on remote
step 6: unlock and lock the door using the main door switch
--- if using multiple remotes go to step 7, if only one go to step 8
step 7: if program multiple remotes hit the lock button on the second remote, then lock and unlock the door with the main door switch
----
step 8: turn key to off and remove from ignition
step 9: unlock the door with the main door switch
step 10: open and close the drivers door

try the remote and it should work
