Hello!

 

my old zed is probably coming home this weekend but the driver side lock barrel has snapped as they do. It is a 94 Import and has central locking, but never had a working fob. Although it does have a spare fob that the old owner gave me with it - he said it needed programming.... I have done some searches but not worked out what this means or how it is done, could anyone shed some light?

 

Once I am back from my holidays this week I will be looking at the black built zed and also my old blue zed to choose which one to buy and hopefully have something sorted by the weekend.

 

It is swaying towards the blue one now though as I know it and it is half the price of the other - I can then build it up to the spec I want over time - forged motor etc :)

 

Best,

 

William

Hi Stephen, haha thanks - I did find Jeffs thread and it does look brilliant as a fix, but I am wondering if I can get the central locking working via the fob as a mean time fix as using the key is a bit old school these days and leaves me open to ridicule on the streets :p

Pretty sure you can take it to an auto electrician and they can reprogram it for you.

I assuming you have googled and came up with this: http://www.ehow.com/how_7286258_program-remote-1995-nissan-300zx.html

(there are other links confirming same process).

 

You could buy a cheap kit from RClick (around £20 IIRC), and fit an aftermarket actuator into the door (I have a guide on it in the guides section). That'll give you what you are after if you are unable to reprogramme the OEM keyfob.
