Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / July 2004keyless entry receiver module
my brother got a replacement remote for his maxima. Unfortunately the new remote doesn't work and he's not sure if its the car's receiver module or the remote that doesnt work. He attempted the programming procedure and he got to the point where his hazard lights flashed from inserting and removing the key, when he then switches the car to ACC position and presses the "lock button" nothing happens. The remote is the right model for the year of his car '97. currently he doesnt have any remotes with the car so he's unsure about whether the RECEIVER module for his car is even working. He's certain he has a factory alarm because he can open the car doors with the key which in turn arms and disarms the alarm. does anyone know where the receiver module is located for the keyless entry system or how to verify that its working. perhaps the previous owner removed it? > my brother got a replacement remote for his maxima.

You're in a position where you have 2 unknowns, the receiver in the car may be bad, or the remote itself. Go for the eaiser one to diagnose, try another remote.

That happens to alot of us, me included. I bought a remote off of ebay for my 98 and was happy ever since. I'm sorry you've been burned on ebay, I have as well, so I trade more cautiously. When I got my remote, it was described as good as new. When it arrived it was anything but, but it worked, so i just kept it and used it. This was a minor bad experiece compared to 2 others I've had. CD Check the battery in the remote. It is a silver oxide (like in a quartz watch) battery. > >>> my brother got a replacement remote for his maxima.

Be sure you get the remotes (2) and the two keys (2) and the (1) valet key when you pick up the car when you buy it. If the dealer will not offer up the keys and remotes the deal is off and walk. They took advantage of me on the Maxima and when I bought the 350Z I refused to take the car until they offered them up. It seems they like an extra set for themselves for the repo man... >>> my brother got a replacement remote for his maxima.
