Question
Hi, I have a 2000 Nissan Altima and i'm having a problem turning off my alarm. I locked the doors from te inside driver side and the alarm set, now i can't turn it off. I've tried to use my keyless entry key and it won't, i have even replaced the battery in it and still no luck. So now that i try to start it , it won't, and every time I open the door it goes off and I don't have a clue what to do. Does anybody know what to do?

Answer
Ok let's clear up the terminology glitch here.

1. FACTORY/OEM alarm = Part of the original schematics
and plans from the manufacturer.
(horn honk, head lights flash, Starter may crank and
die, no spark)

2. DEALER INSTALLED alarm = Just that. Once the vehicle
is brought to a dealer, the dealer sub contracts the after market
security out.
(horn might honk, siren and parking lights flash, starter kill relay,
no start, no crank, just dead.)

3. AFTER MARKET alarm: Same as #2 but you are AWARE that
the system was put in at the dealership, but may not
be informed of the brand name, or even what it's
total capabilities are.
(siren & parking lights flash, starter kill)

Which one applies to yours?

Either way, look at the past postings for
the following keywords/phrases:
starter kill, shock sensor sensitivity,
and valet/override, after market alarm disarm ,
to see the procedures
for your issue.
