Question
Where is valet switch located on 98 nissan altima gxe? i'm unable to locate it and im trying to activate keyless entry

Answer
The "valet" switch is for after market only.
No switch exists in anOEM Nissan car.

If this is indeed an after market alarm and
if this is also a remote starter, the antenna on the
windshield may also have a button inset into it
that is the valet override.

But normally, it's drilled into a spot near the left
knee or, calf area into a plastic panel.

See the attached photo to identify it.

Then try, key on just before cranking,
press and hold in the button for up to
5 seconds or until you get a responce from
your siren, & lights.

Then key off. This should be reset.
Try to start it.

If it's a toggle type switch found,
key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off. This would be override.
Try and start the car.

Repeat these steps to go back into
arming mode when ready.

Good luck.
