Hey Everybody,
I'm new to posting on this forum, though I've been using it for good information for months now. My rig is a 95 Pathfinder SE, 114,000. It was given to me by my uncle in July, and since then I've been making the trip to NY once or twice every month to repair the frame and make it roadworthy again. I just finished the frame before Christmas, brought it back down to MD where I live, and am now trying to take care of the 10 or 15 small issues it has.
Most of these problems I can handle with little/no help (bad passenger side speaker, new wiper pump, etc.), but for the life of me, I can't get the keyless entry to work. Before I began working on it in NY the key fobs worked just fine, but I removed the car battery for about five months while I was repairing it, and since then, the key fobs do nothing at all, no sound, no lights, nothing.
So I checked this forum, and found some really good info about keyless entry problems, here is what I have done so far:
1. Replaced the key fob batteries.
2. Checked the 10A "Room Lamp" Fuse in the driver side fuse panel, it was fine.
3. Found the keyless entry box underneath the driver seat and reinserted the key fob codes, did it twice, no change.
4. Checked the rear hood switch, looks fine to me.
5. Rerouted the antenna underneath the driver seat.
So that's where I am right now. The power locks from inside work fine, but the key fobs do absolutely nothing, and while it's not a priority for me, it would make my fiance a lot happier. Since they were working before the repair, and I did absolutely no work inside the cabin and very little work under the hood, I have a feeling that the problem is something obvious that I am just missing, but who knows. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
