Keyfob issue

Postby rtrow » Tue May 20, 2014 4:57 pm

I have a 2006 Pathfinder, after 30 minutes of locking the car, I cannot unlock it unless I use the key in the door. Then it will work fine unless it sirs longer than 30 minutes. What could be going on? Thanks!

tough one......
the only thing that comes to mind is maybe a re-boot
i'd try disconnecting the battery for 30-45 min, and see what happens after reconnecting
be sure battery cables, clamps, and battery posts are clean & tight

I have done that a couple times and have installed a new battery. Has anyone seen the keyless module go bad?

i don't think I've heard of that (yet), but anything's possible
i guess I assumed that you have tried your other pager to unlock it
have you?
pager battery OK?

does anything else electrical say on or not work? I'm wondering if this is part of another issue... the ignition power shuts down the keyless entry.. maybe somethings staying open until the timeout hits...

No. everything is shutting down perfectly. The only thing that is affected is the fob

I have recently purchased a 57 plate pathfinder and I am experiencing a similar problem, both of our remote fobs have new batteries and the led lights on fobs are working... On 3 or 4 occasions recently we have not been able to unlock the car using the keyfobs so have had to enter the car by using the key manually in the passenger door lock, by doing this it activates the alarm which we then turn off by using the remote fob and everything works fine again until this problem occurs again maybe one week later, anyone have any ideas, thanks alan
