"Factory Dealer Installed" VSS and Key FOB's

[krmiller07]

I am trying to locate a factory Key FOB for my 1989 Pathfinder. I am also trying to determine if I have the "Factory" dealer installed VSS. I called the local dealer here in the Minnetonka, MN area and they had no idea, and all the techs on staff aren't old enough to have worked on a 89 !. Based on the TSB posted here, it appears I may have the same system, however I cant locate the small box that's suppose to be under the drivers seat. I have a switch on the console, and the alarm works when armed, and if you bump into the vehicle it goes off. So, all that being said. I think the correct part # is 999U7-6D001.A call to Carolina Nissan in NC educated me in the fact that these were "dealer installed" options and accessories. Just like the air conditioners were ! I bought one of these trucks new in 1988 and when I got home from the dealer, I pushed the button on the dash for some A/C and nothing ! A look under the hood confirmed NO compressor ! lol. Anyways all feedback and or help would be appreciated, and if someone out there has or nows where I can locate and purchase the key fob, please post it on here.

 

Thanks,

I found an OEM key fob for my 1995 on ebay.

Sorry cannot remember the site but give it a search on ebay.

I've personally never heard of or have seen this option in an 89...you may want to pop the center console out and follow the wires to the module...they may have mounted it under the console or somewhere under the dash

Like the OP mentioned, they were supposed to be mounted under the drivers seat, with the warning light either in the console or the lower dash to the right of the steering column.

999U7-6D001 is indeed the transmitter number for the Pathfinder alarm system. The alarm systems were dealer installed accessories up to 1995. In 1996 Nissan started to build them into their sedans at the factory, the 96 and 97 hardbody were still add on accessory kits. (and yes AC was also an option back in the day)

 

It sounds like to me that this is an aftermarket alarm system.

 

As mentioned above, follow the wires and you will eventually find the control module.
