daczone Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I know the locks are connected to the timer in the rear of the pathfinder... but what exactly is the purpose of the auto locking doors. And it is easy to disable? I knew it would happen... and today I locked my keys in the ignition while I was working on it. Luckily I was home and grabbed the spare. But I've decided I don't care for my locks to have a mind of their own. I am capable of locking my doors when I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It's not supposed to do that. That's the solder joints in the box going bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 I resoldered everything and that's how I got my locks to work (They didn't work at all when I first got it). When I first start the Pathfinder the doors will lock. When I turn the key off they unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Is the alarm system stock? I don't think the factory box does that. Mine don't, anyway. They do plenty of weird things but that's not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I've got the factory locks in my 94, and if the key is in the ignition the doors won't lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yeah I couldn't find anything in the manual about these weird locks. So I have a bad timer? Are my doors ever suppose to autolock? The factory alarm has been removed. Hmmm maybe my aftermarket alarm is doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ahh... Maybe, Although the default is Passive Arming. FEATURE DEFAULT LED ON SETTINGS LED OFF SETTINGS NUMBER (PRESS TRANSMITTER BUTTON I) (PRESS TRANSMITTER BUTTON II) 1 Active Arming Passive Arming 2 Confirmation Chirps ON Confirmation Chirps OFF 3 Ignition-Controlled Ignition-controlled Door Lock/Unlock ON Door Lock/Unlock OFF 4 Active Locking Passive Locking 5 0.8-second Door Lock Pulse Duration 3.5-second Door Lock Pulse Duration 6 Double Pulse Unlock OFF Double Pulse Unlock ON 7 Code Hopping Technology ON Code HoppingTechnology OFF NOTE: Factory defaults are indicated in bold type. 1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. Passive arming is indicated by the rapid flashing of the LED when the last protected entry point is closed. 4 ACTIVE/PASSIVE LOCKING: If passive arming is selected in Feature 1, then the system can be programmed to either lock the doors when passive arming occurs, or only lock the doors when the system is armed with the transmitter. Active locking means the system will not lock the doors when it passively arms. Passive locking means that the system will lock the doors when it passively arms.

adamzan Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's your alarm. Mine used to do that. Annoying as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yeah I just put an aftermarket set up in my '88. Auto locks and unlocks with the ignition. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Reminds me of a story I heard a while back. Some US agents in Mexico got stopped and surrounded by cartel guys, put their armored SUV in park, and the doors auto-unlocked. Turns out armor's a little less effective when the enemy can just open the door. Edited January 11, 2015 by Slartibartfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
