Ok, so I unpluged and removed the alarm unit from under the seat and the alarm seems disabled. I don't know if this will fix my issue or not, but should I also remove all the related wiring and equipment? In the past I have replaced the starter, so I am pretty sure it is not the starter. I also had a mechanic replace the wiring harness to the starter, so it should be ok. Thanks for all of the advice so far. Any additional input wold be appreciated. Thanks.

Once I get the alarm thing figured out I will let you know about selling the key fob. Thanks.

Hello all, I have a 1995 xe 4x4 with an automatic. From what I have been able to find on this forum my pathy has the optional dealer installed factory alarm. I have an on/off "contact" switch on the center console, and I can deactivate it with the key fob (which says pathfinder) I hate the alarm system with a deep, burning passion!!! Twice the thing has left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. It seems to have a starter kill switch, which appears to be getting randomly activated. Some times all I have to do is use the key fob to be able to start it. Other times I have to disconnect and reconnect the battery, and then it will work. On yet other occasions I just need to wait a few hours. There appears to be no pattern to it. How do I fix this? Wiring and electrical work is my weak point. Is there something wrong with the alarm? The ignition? Is there any easy way to disable the alarm. I really do not need it (or the key fob), particullary if it is going to keep doing this. Should I just take it to my loacal Nissan Dealer and ask them to remove it? If this happens again my wife is threatening to make me sell the pathy and buy a 4runner. Help! Thanks.

Thanks for the info. It is just the lights that go out for a few seconds, and then come back on. So it sounds like it is probably the dimmer switch. I will check it out. Thanks again.

While driving with the headlights on all of the dash lights (instrument cluster, radio, etc.) will occasionally shut off for a few seconds, and then turn back on. Any ideas? Electical and wiring stuff is definitley not my stromg suit. Thanks.
