Sudden Alarm Issues

The alarm on my car started playing up the other day out of the blue...

When I arm the alarm now, it leaves the doors unlocked, so they need to be locked manually with the key...obviously if you open the door the alarm sets off, so its all working fine, other than the fact that it won't lock the doors upon arming...

anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is?

Easy fix?

cheers

Pull the trim off and check if when you arm the car that the door locking motor is working. If not, pull it out (takes about 30 sec to do), get a replacement from any car audio / security shop and replace.

Nah this sounds exactly what happened to me a while back. Keys would lock doors fine but when I used the remote sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. Replaced motor and all was well.

The central locking motor I'm talking looks like the pictured below. (just make sure you get the one with the correct number of wires, they usually come in 2/5 wire versions).

Mine had this issue... the motors were weak.

The mounting position of the motors was not the best and it caused the motor to be over extended and eventually ineffective.. The key overrides the motor along the orignal clips hence why you can lock it with a key.

New motors are about $20 from memory... make sure it is mounted correctly too!

Ok...so I found I had one of those motors left over (they use the same 1 for boot release apparently but my installer said he didn't want to use it for that as it would fail regularly)

So I took off the door trim...I didn't even find 1 of the motors pictured above....all that was in the door looked to be factory stuff...So I basically stood there looking at stuff...poked around etc...decided I had no idea what I was doing and gave up....plugged the window control switch etc back in, armed the alarm, and bam...the doors lock now....So I fixed something...I just have no idea what exactly :(

If the motor was weak, and the rods were catching on your doortrim or something, then that would stop it from working.

To explain further on what the other guys were saying.. if you lock the drivers side door, you're overriding the motor for that door, but the passenger door gets the signal to lock/unlock when the drivers one is locked/unlocked... even if done manually.

Same way that if you lock the drivers door from the inside, the passengers side will lock automatically.

you have a S2 correct that would mean you had hte keyless option. if so tey would have used the OE actuator. I would backtrack where it was tied in and check for a loose connection. if you cnat win go see keith and get him to sort it out.

Yep, series 2...and the key it came with had keyless entry on it...Since installing the alarm I've just been using the nismo key, and the remote to open doors obviously...

I played around with a few wires in there, and it seemed to work....then died shortly after.

Just a suspicion/thought, the passenger door lock button on the drivers side window controls, I remember when the installer did the alarm, that button no longer locked/unlocked the passenger door anymore....now that the remote is failing to lock/unlock the doors, that button is working again....

When I pulled the trim off, I obviously had to disconnect the plug that controls that button and the wipers etc...The doors didn't lock from the remote until I reconnected that plug...Is there a chance its got something to do with that? If I was to cut the wire that controls that door lock button, any chance that would solve the issue?

Yeah I think i'm going to have to do the same. Weird mine was working fine until I tried locking doors while the timer was still running. Doors unlock by remote just don't lock. Sounds like we got the same problem, I'll let you know whats up with mine when I get it sorted...

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
