Alarm goes off on it's own ?

[nessy357]

I have a '97 Pathfinder, and the alarm goes off on it's own, and I don't have a remote as I don't use the alarm. In the past I was able to shut it off by inserting the key in the doorlock, apparently that tells the alarm it's a good key and not jimmied and is supposed to shut it off ? The dealership is 100Km away and i really don't trust them, they charged $1600 to someone else for the same problem.

Appreciate any help or tips, so I can start it, then I'll go buy another remote,

Cheers Bob.

Though i;'m not sure if the R50's have it, try looking under the driver seat, or even the passenger seat for a sensitivty switch, and switching it to low.

Hope this helps!

Quick fix...pull the anti-theft fuse. Then search for your electrical draw, bad sensor, door or hood pin, or hatch sensor.

I was thinking of pulling the alarm fuse (under the hood) as well.

on 4x4parts .com forums there was a wire bypass that i did on my wd21 95 pathy then i was able to unplug the alarm box, what a pain it was randomly going off

Thanks for the quick responses, I pulled the relays(9horn & light) and was able to start it ? Doesn't appear to have a switch under the seats , will do the elec when my son visits.

Cheers Bob.
