Just oneHow many key fob slots does your 2009 Murano S awd have?
Was just wondering if it was just one model or if it didn’t matter what make or modelJust one
You have confused me...are you still asking about the key fob, or the key fob slot in the dash?Was just wondering if it was just one model or if it didn’t matter what make or model
The fob slot in the dashYou have confused me...are you still asking about the key fob, or the key fob slot in the dash?
Ok thanksOk, now we know you have a receptacle in your dash...one...where you can insert the key fob.
Do you have the Nissan owners manual for your vehicle? The manual tells you what the receptacle is used for.
Therein lies your problem. You need assistance from someone knowledgeable in Nissan electrical systems to diagnose and repair your car.This was a auction car, and I have completely rebuilt front of this car, which surprisingly was pretty simply.
This comment helps how? I was looking for someone who may have run across this before.Therein lies your problem. You need assistance from someone knowledgeable in Nissan electrical systems to diagnose and repair your car.
It doesn't help those, like you, who would rather blindly replace parts because some goofball, like me on the internet, told you to replace XXX parts costing $$$...which still does not fix the problem.This comment helps how? I was looking for someone who may have run across this before.
Correct. I wasn't asking for the answer so much as where to look and work on the answers to understand the problem and then be able trouble shoot the issue. So if somone has experience they could point me in the right direction. I am not just looking to replace parts by understand the trouble shooting as well. The logic in the repair book is absolute garbage and I am an IT programmer who uses logic on a daily. But, I appreciate your feedback as it really helps me hone what I am looking for.It doesn't help those, like you, who would rather blindly replace parts because some goofball, like me on the internet, told you to replace XXX parts costing $$$...which still does not fix the problem.
Instructions are also available in medical books on how to perform an appendectomy, which to an untrained layperson, not trained in the medical profession, seems like absolute garbage. However, to a trained medical professional, the instructions, and the order they are performed, make perfect sense.The logic in the repair book is absolute garbage and I am an IT programmer who uses logic on a daily.
My advice to you makes even more sense now that you have admitted that 'the repair book' is Greek to you.You need assistance from someone knowledgeable in Nissan electrical systems to diagnose and repair your car
Thanks, that's what I was looking for, confirmation of my own hunch (and being on track) without all the unnecessary rubric. The two things you stated are what I was thinking as well. Since the fob slot was not holding the fob anymore, i have already ordered a replacement, which comes with the push button and another fob. With those combinations I should be able to figure it out. However, I also ordered a signal detector (which does a lot more than just that), but, it will tell me if the radio from the car is pushing a signal and if the key is responding. If it is pushing a signal I would assume the issue is in the fob. Thanks for the help.Use some of that IT logic to figure out that fob only working while directly in the slot and 'no key detected' messages likely mean you may have a weak antenna for the ignition cranking signal. The cars have antennas coming out the ears now, one works fine the others don't. The fob can have great batteries but again if putting out a weak signal fob is still bad. The antenna can be damaged too or plug in corroded from time. The fob can have cracked solder in it to do the same yet rest of it works fine. Battery bracket being something to look at.
A fob is same as wireless on a laptop, the same rules apply in many ways and not rocket science.
