How do we deactivate the ant-theft system on a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder?

A Sister at our church bought this 2000 Pathfinder r two years ago and it has been a great car, with no problems. She has no user manual or remote key fob. Yesterday the horn started blowing and lights started flashing after church when she opened the door; I disconnected the horns , but headlights and flashers come on for 2-3 minutes every 3 minutes. Wwe could not determine how the system got activated or how to shut it off. This has never happened during the last 2 years . She does not remember doing any thing different that would have activated the system. Also the ant- theft horn and antitheft light relays were missing in the fuse and relay compartment, so this might have been a previous problem.. Disconnecting the battery turns every thing off, but when the terminal is reconnected the lights and horn just start up again. Can someone with a Nissan Pathfinder manual look up how to shut this antitheft system off?.





God Bless you and Best regards,

You can download a free owner's manual from Nissan's website.

For what it's worth, I own a similar vehicle (a 2000 nissan xterra also with Nissan factory alarm). I believe using the factory key in the driver's door or the ignition is supposed to turn off the alarm, but the behavior you described sounds like the system is not working properly so the owner's manual probably won't be of much help. (it just tells you how the system should work, not what to do when in breaks) - if you're good with cars I'd start investigating the individual door %26amp; hood contacts - if a door doens't close tightly (due to a damaged hinge, or latch) then maybe the door makes contact when first closed but then opens just enough to trip the door contact and set off the alarm.





Good luck.
Reply:Thanks Saturday. Getting the Manual did the trick. The only thing that we did not try that time the alarm went off was reopen the door with the key. I had assumed that starting it with the key should have disarmed it but that is not the case with the Pathfinder.
