Good video, thanks. I didn't know that part about putting it close to the start button would cause the car to recognize the key, even without any battery at all. I thought you had to put it there to sense a weak key signal. My Maxima gives me a weak key battery warning once in a while even with a new battery. Frustrating, though it still works. Nissan service just shrugs their shoulders and says must be a bad battery. It's not.
It must be frustrating! Our Murano seems to eat through batteries at a high rate too. On previous Nissan vehicles, the batteries lasted more quite a while, but I would proactively change them every 2 years. My routine for the newer cars is changing batteries every year. It seems like the more features the key has, the busier it is. We get a warning with the Murano at 2 months although it can keep working for another 2. During these last months, the "keyless go" feature still works, but a few bonus features stop working - the kick trunk opener and remote start.
Say, would you happen to have the remote start feature that you use often? Also, might you have a spare key fob whose performance you can test against your main one? I have heard of a few scenarios where the key fob just went nuts and owners got new key fobs programmed (usually under warranty)
@@EdBwoy I do use the remote start from the fob, but usually I use my iPhone and Nissan Connect for remote starting. I tried my wife's key and it did the same thing once in a while. Dealer said I bought the cheap battery. I tested them with a voltmeter. Not bad batteries. BTW, I found a note I had forgotten from a few years ago from when I took my 2016 Maxima to the dealer's. I wrote that they told me they reprogrammed the car to no longer give the "low key battery" warning. It seemed to fix the problem, but then it started again recently. Anyway, I just bought a new 2021 Maxima. LOL Amazing car.
You just saved me a $300 towing fee. Thank you
