Question
QUESTION: I have a 2001 nissan supercharged frontier crew cab with a FACTORY ALARM. Any time I lock the doors, the alarm activates and starts honking and lights flashing. For around five minutes, then it shuts off and five minutes later, it starts honking and flashing the lights again. It does this in 5 minute cycles until I hit the unlock button or the battery dies.  How can I deactivate the alarm so I can lock my doors without having the alarm "arm"

ANSWER: Please be more specific.

I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.

Is it: Headlights flashing, car horn honking
and a worded SECURITY" light in the dash flashing?
(doubtfull since none of the notes show this
car as having a factory alarm system)=FACTORY

Or,

is it: flashing parking lights,
an LED in the dash area, and a siren
going off?= AFTER MARKET

Let me know more on this to better
advise you on a course of action
to take.

QUESTION: I get this response everytime. It is a factory alarm. FACTORY ALARM

Answer
This "factory alarm", like most all other Japanese
factory alarms, works with the physical action of
locking/arming and unlocking/disarming.
They are intertwind.

There is no single wire to ground or,
spice into. To disarm these, a remote keyless
entry system would be required.

Of course the key in the drivers door, turn left
first to engage the alarm, then right to unlock
and disarm it, is how a factory alarm can be disabled
as well if it's working. But if damaged in some way,
the only other way is to add a factory remote from the
dealer, or an after market keyless entry system to make
the lock mechanism control the factory alarm.

Wish I had an easy to do method for you, but
I am just the messenger. I only get around the
stuff they throw at you all here! lol.

I hope this was helpful.
