alarm goes off spontaneously

Pharmacist · 09-23-2011, 06:18 PM

it only happens in my driveway so far. but i always parked there for over 2 years and it only started yesterday. also i thought it's very difficult for outside signals to interfere and trigger the alarm. and no, i did not accidentally push the panic button those 7 times.

if you have the ability to park in the garage or somewhere else and see if it happens, if it does then you probably have a short, if it does not and you then park back in your driveway and it starts doing it again you can bet someone or something has some device that is causing it to go off. I would try to nail it down to time of day/location/conditions to narrow it down before going to a shop. Good luck

Was your key exposed to water? (not rain, but accidentally fell in a puddle of water, or bucket of water or in your pants and put into the laundry) Water damage can cause that, If its water damage, Nissan should be able to replace your key.
