Are you having trouble with your 1999 Nissan Maxima Key Fob? Perhaps it’s stopped working, or you need to program a new remote. This guide will walk you through the process of programming a key fob for your 1999 Nissan Maxima, ensuring you can regain convenient remote access to your vehicle. It’s a straightforward procedure you can do yourself, saving you time and money.
Before you begin programming your 1999 Nissan Maxima key fob, it’s crucial to verify if your car is equipped with the factory keyless entry option. Not all 1999 Maxima models came standard with this feature. To check, locate the power antenna motor in the trunk on the passenger side. Remove the trim panel and look between the fender and metal support in front of the antenna motor. If you find a metal box bolted there, your vehicle is equipped for key fob programming.
Once you’ve confirmed your vehicle has the keyless entry system, follow these steps to program your 1999 Nissan Maxima key fob:
- Ensure all doors are unlocked, then get inside your Nissan Maxima.
- Close and lock all doors using the power door lock switch located on the driver’s side door.
- Insert your ignition key into the ignition cylinder and remove it completely at least six times in rapid succession (within a 10-second timeframe). If performed correctly, the hazard warning lamps (turn signals) will flash twice, indicating that the system is in programming mode and all previous remote codes have been cleared.
- Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” (Accessory) position.
- Press any button on your new 1999 Nissan Maxima key fob once. The hazard warning lamps should flash twice again, confirming that the car has successfully learned the new key fob’s ID code.
- If you are programming only one remote, proceed to step 10. If you need to program additional key fobs, continue with step 6.
- Manually unlock only the driver’s side door, and then lock it again using the manual door lock switch.
- Press the lock button on the next key fob you wish to program once.
- The hazard warning lamps will flash twice to confirm successful programming of the additional remote. Repeat steps 6-9 for any further remotes, up to a maximum of four.
- Open the driver’s side door to exit the key fob programming state.
It’s important to note that a maximum of four key fobs can be programmed to a single 1999 Nissan Maxima. By following these instructions, you should be able to easily program your 1999 Nissan Maxima key fob and restore the convenience of remote locking and unlocking for your vehicle.
