| Description of the problem | Intellikey light blinking started on january 14th. I replaced the battery in the key fob. I went to get into my car after work on saturday and was able to unlock my doors. I attempted to start my car, and the intellikey light was blinking again, but i did not have any dash lights come one. The car did not respond to the bypass option either. There was no power or ability to turn the car on. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest nissan dealer and have been told that the electronic steering lock malfunctioned and needs to be replaced. There is no eta as there is a back order nationwide for the part. |
