Is it a series of three beeps?then the car thinks the key is in the ignition and you need a cylinder. If it is a long steady beep it is because the headlights are on and it is alerting you. The body control module will time out the lights and the beep stops. The transponder key did not come out til 2007. So the beep is not be ause the fob is in tthe car. That is NOT your key system in a 2005. 10 years at nissan.

Reset alarm system. Disconnecting battery leads for thirty min. may do it.

This light indicates a fault. Recommend you have the car scanned. A scanner can reset the light, but first get the trouble codes to see what might be wrong with the car.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5932051-check_engine_light_check and let me know if you have questions.

Sorry,you can't bypass it.

That usually happens if you're in too high a gear. If it also seems to accelerate slowly, you may have a fouled plug or other cause of a dead cylinder.

Possible not getting brake switch signal, but most likely to be a failing shift interlock solenoid.

legally probably not as the towing vehicle is lighter than the vehicle being towed and there are no brakes for the towed vehicle. even if it is on a trailer the weight gets worse as you have to consider the trailer as well to add to all that the legal tow capacity of the rv4 will be less than the total mass being towed

I would say either ball joint or wheel bearing. You need to jack the car up and safely support it on a jack stand. Then move the wheel and look for where the movement is coming from. If there is very much movement at all, I would not think it would be safe to drive.

You have to replace the air bag computer or have it reset,if you didnt they wont work,you can have it reset for about $60.00 myairbags.com

One portion of the ignition switch should send voltage to the starter solenoid, sometimes attached to the starter motor, on older cars, on the firewall. You can follow a lone cable from the battery (+) plus side to the starter solenoid/starter. It could be corroded where it connects to the solenoid. So basically, the battery sends voltage to the dash, the ignition sends voltage to the solenoid in the start position, which activates the solenoid so it can send the high current from the battery to the starter. The solenoid has large contacts so it can carry the heavy current; that's why it's there before the actual starting voltage to the starter. (Do the dash lights, etc light when the ignition is turned on? Does the horn blow? If not, all this is moot.)

If it's working, DON'T FIX IT! :) If it's locking the doors, flashing the lights, and beeping the horn... IT'S WORKING!

Your throttle gate is probably stuck open, allowing too much air to come in. When you put the throttle back together make sure the gate is closed. Hope this helps

This is a pretty easy repair. Your vehicle has 2 thermostats. One on the driver side of motor just below the intake manifold and the other in the center of motor just below the intake. I would flush the coolant system aswell.
Here is a link on how to do it. I have recently done one and these steps are right on.

the clicking that you hear is coming from the starter relay. sounds like your ignition starter switch or ignition lock cylinder is bad.

do it now before its to late

Sorry, there isn't. It needs to be scanned for codes. This will point you in a direction to look at. Could be the key, receiver, wiring, BCM, and PCM.

When last did you service the vehicle ?did they use the proper fuel ? Chances are the service time is near where you will need to do a basic service, Plug , plug wires, filters etc. And reset the counter.the fuel ting is just a coincidence.

Not likely, sounds to me like a bad Fuel Pump relay, that when operating correctly controls the fuel pump. Based on what the ECU tells it the amount of fuel it needs.
