I recently bought a fob thats supposed to work for my 95 pathfinder. After going through the steps, i have failed after every attempt.
The receiver under the driver seat does chirp when i press the button but its not like all the instructions i have read.

When i press the button i get beeps every 1-2 second and 12 beeps over all. I dont get the 4 beeps and a fifth like the instructions say i should hear.

Here are the instructions i received with the fob i bought :

The Nissan system can learn up to four different remotes. If a fifth remote is entered the
first remote is "bumped out" as only the last four to be entered are remembered. Any
time the system is programed all remotes to be used should be re-programmed to avoid
unintentional "bumping"

1. Locate the electronic module. (Located under drivers seat on the right side.)

2. Under the center of the Nissan label on the top of the module there is a 7/8" hole. Rub
your finger over the label to locate the hole. Punch through the label with your finger or
a dull object such as a pencil eraser. Inside the hole is a square yellow button. This is
the programming button.

3. Cycle the ignition key to ON then back to OFF. Press and hold the programming button.
The siren will emit four single introduction tones followed by a five tone burst. Release
the programming button. The siren will now emit single prompting tones at one second
intervals. Each prompting tone is an opportunity to program a remote. After any
prompting tone press the large (arm/disarm) button of a remote. The siren will
immediately emit a confirmation tone. Wait for another prompting tone and press the
large button of another remote. Repeat until all transmitters to be used with the vehicle
have been learned.

4. Turn the ignition key ON the OFF to exit programming mode.

5. Test remotes and cover hole on top of electronic module with tape.


Can anyone help me with this problem? What am i doing wrong or is my receiver defective?
Thanks

Try this:

Slide the drivers seat fully forward and tip the upper portion to the steering wheel. There is a box under the driver seat, it has a hole in the middle of the box (may be covered with a sticker, just push your finger through) Push and hold the button inside the box until your siren starts chirping. Continue holding that button and push the LOCK/UNLOCK button on your FOB. You should hear a confirmation chirp from the alarm system. If you are only programming one remote, let go of the button under the seat and you are finished. If you have two remotes, after you get the confirmation chirps from the first one being programmed, continue holding the button under the seat, cycle the door locks from locked to unlocked once from the switch on the drivers door and then push the LOCK/UNLOCK button on the second remote. Again you should get a confirmation chirp from the alarm system. Once done, release the button under the drivers seat.

After trying again today i still cant get anything different to happen. I counted 15 beeps when i hold the reprogram button down. They all beep the same amount of time from each other and then it stops. Cant seem to get the fob to work with the 95 Pathfinder.
I tried it on my 97 200sx Se-R and it worked the first time, so i know the fob works.


Any other ideas?
