1992 Nissan Maxima Alarm System goes off with key entry

My daughter just bought a 92 Nissan Maxima 2 days ago. Today she tried to unlock the door and the alarm went off and would not shut off, nor would the car start. We didn't even realize this had a working alarm. No key pad on key, just a key. How do we either; disconnect the alarm or shut the alarm off some other way once the door is opened?

Please help, she went through a lot just to get this car.

Opening the trunk with the key (not the valet key) will shut off the alarm.

Can't offer help on permanently disabling the alarm.

All alarm sytems specially after market are attached to the crank wire under the dash to a relay or more than on relay-by removing the any lower dash panels to help aid with visual inspection of relay. look for a wire cut from under the dash that is spliced to a relay. The wires are color coded so just remove the relay or relays by cutting and removing and reconnect wires back to original colors- again also check fuse box for similar hook up-note only for earlier models such as you have.

I had the same problem with my 92 Maxima it was so bad to the point the car couldn't start due to the alarm going off. You will need to remove all of the alarm wiring system for the car it's located under the front end of the car and if it ran through the dashboard like mine, it will be a lot of work

How do i reset the anti theft system on my 92 maxima?

Best Answer:Use the trunk or drivers door lock turn and hold it toward unlock for 2 seconds to turn off the alarm system. Arm the same way turn and hold to unlock 2 seconds. You should be able to see what the security light is doing. Last resort (two People) disconnect the negative post off of the battery #1 person turn and hold the ignition key to the crank position. #2 person then drop the negative terminal on (some spark) then the motor will crank and start before the alarm knows what is happening. Good Luck

I have a 92 Nissan Maxima. When I unlock the door, the alarm goes off. This has happened before. We unplugged the battery, two fuses inside the car and 2 fuses under the hood. That reset the alarm I...

there is a switch mounted to the back of the door lock. its inside of the door. you will have to take the door panel off to see the back of the lock cylinder. the switch has wires coming out of it. I think that is your issue. the switch is junk or it slipped of the back of the lock cylinder. that switch monitors which way you turn the key and sends that info to your smart entrance control unit, which works your alarm system. remove door pane and take a look at that switch on the back of the lock cylinder.

I started my car on day and the next day I unlocked the door and the alarm started and would not stop. My buddy diconnected the horn and the car won't start...help

i believe if you put key in ignition turn it forward and back off twice it should reset the anti theft to start it. or unlock pass door with key and that might reset it. also try the same with back pass door if the other didnt work. hope this helps.

Connect battery>>>>try unlocking the vehicle from the inside (door closed), using the power un/lock button. Make sure the key is set to the "on" position. Most of the time this works. If this doesnt work, try using the key to lock and unlock the door through the key hole. Hopefully this helps!!

'95 Nissan Maxima-Alarm goes off-then windows & doors won't work

Open the drivers door panel and locate the inside lock cylinder, there is an alarm switch that wrap around it with an electrical wire came out, it might also have another one on the passenger side in some other model . What it does is arm and disarm the alarm when you use the mechanical key and in some other model, it also lower the window when you disarm. The switch might pop out of place or deteriorated due to age. Good luck all.

Help to disconnect my alarm

it sounds to me like you dont have a key less entry remote on the vehicle, I would check the small switch located behind the driver door lock tumbler (were the key goes in) and to do this
you need to remove the door panel, this switch knows when you
insert the key into the door and turn it to disable alarm, some times they break off - when the alarm goes off try unlocking the
vehicle on the passenger door.
