veeg33 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hi there, I wondered why suddenly my auto remote locking won't work any more. I was still fine yesterday evening when I lock my car, and it was still fine this morning unlocking it and then drive to work and locking it. Then, later today when I drove to shop to get some food, I can't lock it anymore. Lights not blinking neither. But when I press unclock button, the indicators blinks. So it must not be the battery on the remote control. Weird. And also, I notice the electric seats are not working too. Assuming they are related? They are working fine the last time I needed to adjust it. Yesterday, I sent my car to Nissan Pentagon Huddersfield to clean the aircon, coolant change, brake fluid change and mini valet. The remote locking still working fine but didnt't check the electric seats. Then I swapped 2 interior bulbs (cabin lights) with 2 LED ones. The remote locking was still fine this morning and when I got to work. It was only later today this issues starts. I thought it might be these 2 LEDs that caused the issue. So I removed them and replaced with the old standard bulbs, but still no joy gettign the remote locking to work. Any idea what went wrong? or any one had similar issue?

veeg33 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Updates: I just went down to disconnect and reconnect the battery. I got back to normal, I can lock and unlock, and the electric seat works as well. However, after few trials, it stopped working again. Either Pentagon has done something to my 350z or the LEDs that I've put on screwed up the system? If yes, is there anyway I can reset?

veeg33 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 The electric windows are not working as well as I found out yesterday. Took it back to Pentagon today, after few hours, they failed to find any fault with my car. Not connection issue, relay or fuse.......they could not find anything via the OBD tool neither...... They performed a factory reset on my car and everything now works as it should do. Lets see if this fix the issue permanently. Oh by the way.......its free!! They did not charge me anything for the diagnostic and factory reset.....and when I got my car....they even wash and dry my car!! Now that's what I call a good service!! I'm thinking of going back to them for next service (oil change etc)........Anyone tried them before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.banks Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I have *exactly* the same problem on my Z and wondered if the reset turned out to be a permanent fix or not? I'm locking it manually right now, which is fine, but I'd like to get it sorted sooner rather than later obviously. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Did you make any changes like LED bulbs etc? Might be worth removing the batter for a while and see if that resolves it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 I disconnected the battery and this only solve the issue for only 5mins or so, then the issue starts again. I removed the LED that I replaced, factory reset my zed at Nissan dealership. Solved it permanently up to now. Brought some LEDs from CS2000, and swapped then while the battery was disconnected to avoid any short circuits as recommended by CS2000 as well. All my interior lights are now running on LEDs as well as rear number plate light. P/S: these LEDs does not need to be Canbus Free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
