NISSAN ALTIMA KEY FOB TROUBLESHOOT

[@debbiehodges489]

I’ve never been so happy to hear door lock/unlock clicks, engine starting, trunk open & the welcome sign on the display in all my life! Your video and suggestions were spot on as the prongs in the fob were bent. You, my friend, just saved me a lot of money! Thank you so much😘

[@brendenneufield1295]

7 years old and it still works! Thank you so much for this!! Mine is a 2016 altima and when I was changing my batteries I must’ve bent the prongs in. You are a life saver. May god bless your soul and have a very happy holidays. Best wishes!

[@lindseywilliamson2989]

Single gal here. Last night I replaced my battery from one I got at Walmart. I watched another video on how to do it. After I replaced it nothing, it wouldnt work AT ALL. I watched your video the morning. Key now is back working. Thank you so much ! 👏

[@Promisingact27]

Lindsey Williamson OUTSTANDING!!! Happy to help!

[@zoltancarson559]

You just saved me $400 as both of my fobs were out and my warranty expired a few months ago. Thanks a million!!

[@alexicoachlife]

God bless you. I low key shed some tears thinking about how I didn't have the money to fix this and you saved me!

[@EarlyBird_Dumpster]

Same!!!! Life saver!!

[@jragland7580]

Same thing!! However I did cry.🤦🏽‍♀️

[@jamchanic1497]

I bought a 2011 nissan altima just a few days ago and the owner says the key needs reprogramming i went and bought a new battery and replaced it amd it was still not working and as i started watching this vid it was the battery from the owner was installed wrong and as i turned the battery the correct way it works immediately 😀 thanks so much alot

[@AceDublB]

After having problems with one of my fobs for the last few weeks, I tried every suggestion on KZbin and Nissan Forums. I changed the batteries several times, adjusted the terminal prongs as shown here as well as doing the battery disconnect reboot, etc. On one of the forums one poster made a point of using a high quality, new CR2032 battery. On my 3rd battery change the fob amazingly came to life and I was back in business. I had already thought I needed to head to the Nissan dealer or a Locksmith to have them reprogrammed but not required now.

[@greenmanislife]

Thanks for posting that. I changed both keyfob batteries less than 2 months ago, I had purchased a "good deal" on Amazon with a lot of good reviews. I tested them, they are 3V batteries with 3V in them, but I was getting a "No key detected" message, opening of the door was iffy, to start the car I had to bring the keyfob to the button. I just went to the store and bought 2 good quality batteries and the message is gone and all the issues are gone. I guess I have a lot of 3V batteries for TV remotes now.

[@ej6607]

Thank you after going through so many videos that just had me frustrated. Came upon this. Car battery died at the job. Had to get a boost from roadside assistance. Then no key I'd went home to see if I had a fob battery. Had to leave car running in driveway. Went bought a new car battery. Changed out key fob battery. Then car kept saying no key I'd. 2 days of watching videos unplugged battery in car. Nothing car still wouldn't recognize key fob. Was just going to go to dealer. Came upon this video did what you said closed it up. Hit panic button car started going off in garage. Door locks started working. Car recognized fob. Finally someone who does not run their mouth and know what they are doing. 🙂

[@TexasNewMoney]

Awesome info. My mom-in-law's fob stopped working. It was a bent battery pin. 8 years later, this info is still very relevant. Thank you.

[@23428jp]

2013 Murano fob had the two small prongs bent down and not touching the new battery. Gently pulled the prongs back up, put the battery back in and HOORAY, IT WORKS! Thanks so much for the tips.

[@Promisingact27]

23428jp OUTSTANDING! So happy this vid is helping

[@MrSpliturwig]

Thank you so much for the help it's been 3 years since you uploaded your video and it's still helping people as it has helped me here in 2018

[@paulgomez8573]

I have a Nissan Sentra and both of my keys did not work after the battery change. I bent all of the contacts and put the batteries in the correct way, and both keys are like new. I had been working on this fob problem for about a month till I saw your video. Thank you so much, Ohlookitsfaith. Thank God.

[@Promisingact27]

You have no idea how happy I am that this is working for people. Dealerships try to RIP people off ove simple stuff like this. Feel free to share this video. Hopefully it helps many more 👍🏾

[@chanecak]

Mine is not working and nothing is broken inside . I can still use my push start though I’m confused

[@user-ik9br5fl4f]

Thanks, I must have bent one of the pins while changing my battery. Did as you suggested and now I'm 200 bucks richer. Thanks a bunch.

[@Promisingact27]

Sam Smith aww man No problem happy the vid helped

[@Promisingact27]

👌🏾most welcome

[@kmyers4567]

I wanna say this video really helped me out. I had lost my keyfob over a year ago, I had to contact Nissan they wanted in pa 350 for a new one and to program it but I had purchased one months before I lost mine just to have an extra one but I didn’t know at time how much to get programmed until I found out and it just sat. I had to pay someone to come out after shopping around and paid 295 and it lasted a week. I just so happen today being bored looked up how to fix keyfob and watched your video and now my car unlocks and locks and it hasn’t in over a year. Thanks again because I didn’t have another 200+ to get it fixed. I swear push start cars aren’t that great after all lol to me

[@rhondajones6463]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I had to leave a comment. My husband and I are having to share my car while his is in the shop. All the swapping the fob back-and-forth has been a nuisance. I knew I had a second one in a drawer. After putting in a new battery it still did not work. I adjusted the prongs as you suggested and BINGO it’s working. Thank you again! God bless you!

[@jennifermorales7787]

Holy crap it worked!! You helped me fix it!! It was the 4 prongs, I just lifted them up more with a baby screwdriver and now it works!!👍👍👍👍👍😍

[@Rock_Reggae_Riff]

Thanks for the info. The 2 small contacts near the battery were compressed and not making good contact with the gold strip. Both of my keys suffered the same problem, and now they're both working. Thanks again!

[@yaoypl]

I changed the battery, but nothing happened. Watching many videos...only your advice solved my fob problem. Thank you!!!

[@sko0bydoo744]

Man you saved me from having to buy a new fob…my Fob battery ran low so my car wouldn’t start, so I went and got a new battery. Put it in, and the car still wouldn’t start, I changed another battery thinking maybe something was wrong with that one, put new one in, still wouldn’t start…and I thought dang, ima have to take it to the Nissan dealer. Ran into your video, and in 30 seconds of watching I immediately knew what went wrong, my dumb butt put the battery in the wrong way. The battery with the words should face down. So I flipped it over, and it worked like a charm….THANK YOU

[@lovelyone0509]

THANK YOU SOOOOO MICH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!! I️ was just about to go to the dealership to replace my fob. All it was was the two prongs were bent too far in to touch the battery. Thank you!!!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You saved a single mother of two a lot of money. Thanks again

[@Promisingact27]

lovelyone0509 ahhh....no problem happy it worked out👍

[@leticiadawn7698]

Nine years later and you’re still saving lives ❤thank you for making this video was able to fix my fob For me it was the battery prongs I had to pick them up took two try’s to get it right but got it to now work 🎉

[@benleblanc5146]

Wow you are incredible. I was frustrated all afternoon after trying to change my battery and this video came to my rescue

[@ablong6134]

Amazing advice!! After doing what you said, it worked the first try for my mom’s car. She is thrilled. Thank you!! Thank you!!

[@protegemusicproductions8366]

Thank you very much for this info. My 2017 Altima key for some reason wouldn't work and I followed your instructions and it worked. Thanks again. Blessings

[@daniellekeuilian6674]

Thank you for the info! Fixed my son's key fob for his 2009 Nissan Rogue that was having intermittent issues. This was exactly the problem!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

[@josehernandezjosehernandez9158]

i went to nissan dealership they say that the key dont will work not more. but those little things were smash you right so helpful your video thank you !!!

[@astiva2007]

Thank you for your advice. It worked for me. I have a Nissan Rogue 2008. The difference between your intelligent key and mine is that instead of 4 filaments my key has only 3 and on the other side has 2 like your key. I did as you advised. And save me a lot of money. Thank you very much. Greetings from Medellin Colombia

[@craiggoins6234]

Thank you!!! Your video fixed my month long ordeal . One of my copper plate prongs were bent. So much appreciation for you.😅

[@jamchanic1497]

I bought a 2011 nissan altima just a few days ago and the owner says the key needs reprogramming i went and bought a new battery and replaced it amd it was still not working and as i started watching this vid it was the battery from the owner was installed wrong and as i turned the battery the correct way it works immediately 😀 thanks so much alot

[@1234balji]

Thanks a Million... I was just about to take the FOB to the dealer before which my wife asked me to check KZbin and Tadaa... Fixed the problem after watching your video. You saved me $200. This was the issue exactly.

[@rbanister100]

You HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD, for me!!! I have been a computer tech for 30 plus years, not a car tech, and your solution was my answer. All I can say is, that these electronics now-a-days for cars, are a PAIN IN THE ASS. Jokingly, I say that you have to take a college course (and pass it), in order to have a car that functions correctly, or a computer that functions correctly, now-a-days, which sucks. Thanks for your video...

[@anagarcia8542]

Omggg Thank you soooo much! I realized I put the battery on wrong 🤭🙄 you’re a life saver!!!!! I was locked outta my car in this Houston weather 100 degrees outside. Almost gave up. Saw ur video and literally started crying 😭 u da besssst. God bless

[@MagicMan20]

You just saved me money, time and stress thank you for this video. I never would have known. Fixed my FOB!!

[@SierraKirby]

Thanks a million!!! I was nervous when the car didn't start, after changing the battery! Your tips saved the day!

[@Promisingact27]

Sierra Kirby So welcome, I'm happy it helped. I was going crazy when mine wasn't working and I was not paying the money for a new one!

[@michellecastano5409]

Thank you sooooo much life saver! I have a 2014 Nissan Altima and this did the trick you just saved me a couple of hundred dollars !!!

[@Promisingact27]

You are so welcome 👍🏾

[@louisc2568]

This worked like a charm for my 2015 sentra. Different layout, but same premise with the prongs not making contact. Thanks!!!

[@Promisingact27]

Louis Coiro AWESOME!!!

[@marcelnight1978]

My 2015 Altima fob did this thankyou for this video. It's working fine again.

[@okkesgozdas2658]

I have 2011 Maxima and had same problem it was headache I changed the battery but it’s not working till watch your video and I fixed Thank you Thank you

[@Promisingact27]

ökkeş gözdaş Outstanding! Glad I could help

[@nancymunoz58]

Thank you for the detailed instructions and connection checks. So much better than other videos I waded through.

[@Promisingact27]

No problem, I hope it was easy to follow

[@ricardofigueroa3759]

Just wanted to leave a comment letting you know to this day you're still helping people self troubleshoot. You just saved me $200+ :)

[@tdog2880]

Oh my god. I bought a 2009 Altima a few months ago off marketplace. Owner only had one key. Well none of the buttons worked which I didn’t complain about because I got it for a good price, just have to manually lock and unlock which could be annoying. Car would start and run fine with the key in the slot but the lock/unlock buttons never worked. Low and behold I find this video, so first I open my key and what do you know, my battery was upside down!! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ girl you just saved me a HELL of a lot of stress and headache thinking I had to go to the Nissan dealer for a new key. I wish I could give this video multiple thumbs up you’re a life saver, or maybe I’m just dumb!! Haha

[@mariloubaclig448]

Upon re-doing it again for 4x bending the 4 tongs .now its working. Thank you.

[@spozzzy]

could not figure out what was wrong with these dang thing, got 4 different batteries and nothing worked... found your video and it turns out the 2 little things were bent and not touching where it needed to. i straightened it out and it worked! thank you so much for your video. you earned another like and subscriber!❤️

[@davidagee1957]

That was the EXACT issue I had after watching this video I replaced the battery part of the fob because the two prongs were bent and broke and my key started working shortly after THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@Promisingact27]

No problem happy to help🤙🏾

[@davidagee1957]

Works for every key I suggest this video to anyone who has key fob issues in general !❤️

[@PolkaSunia]

This troubleshooting video helped me so much! It worked for my 2020 Murano and I'm so glad that it was an easy solution. Thank you!

[@humblebeastclothing5193]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I just fixed both of my fob keys because one was dead and the other had the battery in wrong! Thank you my friend

[@LeslyXiomaraDiazValentin]

OMG!!! That was literally it, I just did a little adjusment on the two prongs and it worked!!! Thank you for this video! ❤

[@ravynarie8393]

Literally I was about to cry because my car would not start or even unlock, luckily the battery in the key fob decided to start back working just enough for me to get in my car. I had changed the battery and everything and nothing was working. Just to come to your video and realize i have to put the battery on the negative side 😑and then it wants to work. Lol i was like woww, but thanks for this video, it was clearly helpful

[@amberlewis2969]

This video literally just saved me $230 because that is what Nissan was going to charge me to check my key 🙄. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

[@Zuraann]

I cannot believe this... I never write comments but you just save me from a mad headache. Thank you so much!

[@frankmcilvenny400]

Nice. Didn't think about contacts. Bent them up and now works. Thanks.

[@lorenzocarmelo6073]

This is an 8 yr old vid but you saved me hundreds of dollars, thank you so much❤️

[@solotraveleruae5027]

I have been suffering from the same problem for a long time Thanks a lot

[@xalexbanx]

damn. thank you. I just bought a used Nissan Altima 2007 and the key fob doesn't lock/unlock. I opened it up and one of those 4 triangular metal prongs was bent and is now broken. I gotta replace the whole thing. thanks for guiding me to the issues.

[@raqueldelgado2426]

Thank you so much for putting this video out. No words on how you hooked it up!!

[@realsportsandmorewithadamg]

Thanks a lot for this video. I was thinking it was a sensor or something that fell off of my car, but I still try this first. Thanks again!

[@xSUPERoMANx]

those steering locks render a lot of people stranded . thankfully they really are an easy task to identify in addition to the revised component is not really overpriced . I have a do it yourself on it over at my channel also .

[@weeches]

pls change the title to Nissan/ Infiniti Fob fix/troubleshooting, helped me with my g37 fob but only found this video because it was suggested to me, was literally going to call a locksmith tomorrow. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!

[@Izzy_Lzn]

You just saved me so much time and money. I knew it had to be something I accidentally hit and you were right. It was one of the prongs. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!

[@saidzeina6806]

Solved. God Bless You. Thank you for taking the time to help people.

[@gigi_xoxo]

Thank you so much for this video!!!! It literally saved my life bc I was taking the key out of the fob every trip n it was driving me insane! Lifesaver!

[@mikec7236]

Thank you! My issue was with the prongs on both remotes. Saved me so much time.

[@awoodworker]

I thought I found the cure. My 08 Altima winter car just started showing a low battery alert for one of the Fobs. I replaced the battery and now the car won't detect the fob. I have double checked the battery orientation and the condition of the prongs. The car detects it when the fob is plugged in to the port on the lower dash and the car will start. I recently replaced a complete fob on my 2011 Altima. I purchased factory new fob from a seller on Ebay for $80 Canadian. Programing cost $50. at the dealership. The car detects it but not on the fobs own battery power.

[@fahad2012599]

I love you so much, it find the problem when i watch ur post , i had replaced many batteries watching many KZbins but the actual problem is the “prunes” thanks 🙏🏼

[@binshadhameed6778]

Perfect solution dear!!!! Appreciate your effort! Saved our money 😊😊

[@Jeremywaters94]

Thank you so much completely escaped me that there may not have been a proper connection between the prongs and the copper plate!

[@hugocamba6659]

Thank you so much! You are a life saver. My gfs altima key was doing this an I fixed it after I watched this!!

[@jdadon5178]
