Issues with '04 Nissan Crew Key Fob, Locking System, and Warning Light

Hey there, I feel you. I had a similar issue on my '07 Nissan Almera just last year. That locking/unlocking nightmare and menacing warning light... yeah, I know it can be vexing. Turned out - as you suspected - it was the key fob battery causing all the chaos. The mechanic had to replace it. Not a big deal at all. It's super quick. Just needed a new battery in the key fob and everything was cherry again in no time. They also checked the key fob function and remapped it to my car as standard procedure to make sure everything was in sync. Wasn't any monstrous issue at the end of the day, but definitely one of those annoying ones that throw you off. So, probably nothing serious to worry about. Hope you get it sorted soon. Safe driving!

Hey, good to hear your problem got sorted. I'm equally hoping it's just a key fob battery issue with my Nissan Crew as well. I was just wondering, do you recall approxily how much you had to fork out for this fix? And have you noticed anything else off since you got it sorted out from your mechanic? Appreciate the help!

Hey, just raking my mind and if memory serves correctly, the total ding to my wallet was around 37.50 € to get the key fob battery issue sorted on my Almera. Pretty reasonable, I reckon, considering it got rid of all the hassles I was facing. Since taking a trip to my trusty mechanic, I can cheerfully say the weird locking/unlocking issues and that irksome warning light have vanished. My ride's been smooth ever since, with no more problems. The mechanic did a thorough job, and the key fob battery replacement seems to have worked like a charm. Just need to remember that sweet relief when the car starts behaving like a rebel next time. Hope this helps and that you get your Nissan Crew back on track without much ado. Safe driving!

Cheers for the quick response! It's a relief to hear that the correction didn't burn a hole in your wallet. 37.5€ sounds fair enough, I don't mind shelling out that amount to get my Nissan crew back to its old, reliable self. It's also comforting to know your trouble didn't return. I'll take your advice and visit a mechanic soon, hoping they do a thorough job just like yours. And yeah, definitely, this incident is a note-to-self to not freak out next time my car starts going bonkers. Here's to trouble-free driving! Safe driving to you too!
