Alarm goes off every night

[aizaza]

I have a Nissan Murano, 2005.

For the past several months, the car alarm seems to go off every night. I live in an apartment block, the car is in the underground parking lot - therefore it is out of range of the FOB (not a FOB problem). Since it is underground, i only know of the problem because the security informs me that it alarms every night. When I'm out with friends - it does in fact alarm at night.

It is Very very annoying. If i leave it unlocked entirely, i believe it doesn't happen as often - but is still known to happen. The door lock actuator on one of the doors is not working, i don't know if that is related.

Is there a quick way to fix this? or barring that, some way to totally disable the alarm?

Thanks!

The door lock actuator *may* have something to do with it. Do you still manually lock that door?

On some cars, a sensor or something gets shot, and makes the alarm go off, since the alarm views whatever it is as "open". I only say that because the hood sensor on the Z32 goes out and gives a lot of people alarm issues.

And as far as removing the alarm system entirely, I'm not sure on exactly HOW integrated the alarm system is on the Murano, if it has a kill switch when you remove it, ect. but the alarm "computer" should be relatively close to the ECU.

Also, here's the link to the Security portion of the Murano FSM, which can be found at http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM

Hope this helps narrow the problem down!

thanks! I thought it would have been a nightmare to debug, and cost me a fortune in diagnostic fees. Took it to the dealership, they plugged in the console and just deactivated the alarms. So far so good!
