Continuous beep while car is off.

[None_zero]

I have nissan maxima I believe it's a 2012 with pushbutton start yesterday went to the store and came home all is well except the fob wont lock the door I eventually realized the next morning when the battery was dead (and I charged it) that the car is emitting a continuous rapid beep even after the car is completely off and the key has been removed why would this happen? After charging the battery the car will enter the on position but will not turn over and start... any ideas?

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 10- seconds to erase any memory? This is the equivalent of asking some one with a computer problem "Did you try turning it off and on?"

 

How the hell would the car battery be dead from over night?????????????

Is the key fob battery low

are your headlights on?   lol

I replaced fob battery and it drained the battery over night because the beeping doesn't ever stop and the ignition button stays illuminated as does the little screen between the speedometer and tachometer stays lit. I havent disconnected the batt yet. I'm not at home so I'm trying to locate the tools here in my parents garage

Ok so update is, disconnected batt and it stopped the continuous beeping and start button no longer illuminated however when I attempt to start it doesn't turn over and goes back to the state of continuous beeping. (Yes I reconnected the battery lol)

It is push button and nothing was on the screen it was just illuminated. I should mention that the doors wont lock with the fob unless I'm inside the car 

[bilzbobaggins]

Is there a reset procedure for the key fob?  To get it recognized again by the ecu?   I do not have a vehicle that uses that tech.

also I realize what I said it drained the battery seems to say th battery in the fob but I meant the battery in the car was drained overnight

@bilzbobagginsI dont know this is my dad's car it doesn'thave an owners manual and finding info like that online is a huge pain in the ass so I'm hoping someone can save me the trouble here 🙂

Is the key symbol or whatever they use in 12 models lighting uP?

It does flash when I get in but is not illuminated when the car is on

[bilzbobaggins]

have you tried holding the key fob right on the pushbutton?  I assume there is a chip and a transponder ring around there.

did you ever figure this out?

[None_zero]

I did figure out the problem yes but I'm almost too embarrassed to say... solution was simple. Put the car in park.

Inexpensive fixes are the best.

Everyone has done something similar to this before.  Dont sweat it.

Many moons ago, my sister was house.sitting for a professor of one of the top universities in the US, maybe the world as they have overseas studies.

 

They bought a new Alfa Spider (2 seat sportscar), in Italy, an 80s version.  You buy it there and then drive it as ur rental for vacation and then ship it home, tis cheaper that way.

 

Anyways, the stupid thing wouldn't start 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks later.   They took it to the dealer...musta been towed in, unless they push started it....guess what caused it to not start?

 

Seat.belt Interlock...they weren't latched.
