03 Nissan Micra - key light flashing - car won't start?

RayCon

Hi,
My Mrs 03 Micra developed this picular problem this morning ... went to start the car - all the electrics lights come on , there's a clicking sound , no iginition from the engine and the little "key" light on the dash is red and stays flashing - even when I remove the key and lock the car back up ... it's probably still flahing now !!! ... Any idea's ? Is this the immoblizer ? Anybody have similar problems ?

I would imagine the key has lost its code either that or the battery is as flat as a pancake

[FONT=Arial, Sans-Serif]NISSAN [/FONT]Micra Key Remote Control Programming

The Central Door locking is controlled by the Multi-Remote Control system which controls the door locking, door super locking and hazard reminder. When the doors are locked and unlocked the unit flashes the hazard lights once for lock and twice for unlock.
A maximum of four remote controls are allowed to be programmed.

Ensure all the doors have been unlocked, either by using a good transponder key or remote control plip key.

1. Turn the ignition switch from Position 0 to ON 6 times within 10 seconds.
2. Then turn ignition switch to OFF position. Leave key in ignition switch.
3. After 2 seconds, the system will enter programming mode and will flash the warning lights twice.
4. Press and HOLD the unlock button on the Plip.
5. While pressing the unlock button, press the lock button 3 times.
6. Release the unlock button.
7. The warning lights will flash once to indicate successful programming.
8. Repeat procedure 4 to 7 for up to 4 plip key’s.
9. When completed turn ignition ON, and the warning lights will flash 2 times.
10. Remove key, and check all plip key’s for operation.

I faced the similar problem with a Nissan smart key and it was due to faulty key battery. The customer came with a key for Nissan Micra in which Green color light was flashing / blinking on dashboard.

If the color of flashing light is red then it is due to completely drained out battery.

I even made a video for this.

It required new CR 2025 battery to solve the problem.
