Hey guys,

My key fob has been playing up recently after i had a flat battery.

It just does not work straight away. I have to keep holding the unlock button for anywhere between 5 - 10 minutes before it finally unlocks/locks. Once it has unlocked it work work fine if i keep pressing unlock and lock.

I tested the battery with a tester and it shows that it has full power. I dont think it is a battery issue as it works fine once i unlock it and then press the unlock/lock button.

I also dont think it is the actuator as even the boot doesnt unlock straightaway.

Anyone experienced this issue?

If i had to but a new key and fob, how much would it cost?

Not with a new key.. Nissan only. I got told I cannot buy keys anymore. Something to do with theft. Never mind the high 5 figure sum of money I spend with them they will not sell me keys.

As for your issue I would bet that the battery terminal is oxidized or loose internally. See if you can split the fob and look at that first. Those fobs are on the wrong side of $400 locally and there is no way around it as they are unique to that car.

Hey Chris, Thanks for your reply.


So yesterday i ended up trying a new battery and it worked. (I should have tried that first). I did test the battery with a tester and it showed excellent so i thought it wouldnt be the battery.

anyways, where could i get a new fob from? complete with the transponder and stuff?

Do they come in different designes? the OEM one looks very old skool and boring.

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
