Changing car battery initiates car alarm. Hi everyone, tried changing batteries on the X-Trail and started the car alarm ringing in my garage. Was not able to stop it using the remote key switches. Does anyone know of this problem and how to resolve it?
I have asked our local Nissan dealer, but they are not aware of this problem.
Regards Mike.

Re: Changing car battery initiates car alarm. Hey Mike,
It sounds like your X-Trail has an after-market alarm, but then, I'm not familiar with the T31's to know if they come with an alarm, or just central-locking (like the T30 does).
After-market alarms have a battery-backup built-in to the siren under the bonnet, so when you disconnect the alarm from power by either cutting the wires, pulling it's fuse, or disconnecting the battery (I think even if the alarm is disarmed) then it will activate the siren. There should be a round key barrel on the siren which you use to turn the siren off.

You should have an overide key to disable the alarm siren, usually it should be done before changing the battery
Hi Rich, all the T31 petrol models don't have the alarm as standard, only the diesel models have it. My exy has upgrade alarm system installed after the delivery.
Re: Changing car battery initiates car alarm. Thank you for the replies, I purchased the vehicle 2nd hand, there were only ignition keys given to me.
I'll go hunting for the battery box or alarm box.
