Hey guys! Before hitting it try looking at the fuses on the positive terminal connector. One of mine were blown and it caused the intelligent key light. It costed $25 for a new one at autozone and was easy as hell to fix. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for the video! My 09 Altima was acting exactly as you show in the video. I removed the panel around the steering column and used a big crescent wrench to bang on the module. Car started up as it always has! I turned it off, got out, locked the doors, then got back in, started it up and drove it around the block. I left the panel loose and have my crescent wrench ready for the next time it happens. Thanks again!
I have just recently run into this problem with my car and it is driving me nuts. I keep getting stranded because my car will not start. So... I started carrying around a similar screwdriver and a hammer and give it a tap when my car misbehaves and will not start. I know it is not a fix but I cannot fix the car like you and I have to wait until payday to take it to get it fixed. Thank you for the video, however. It was very informative and now I can tell if my mechanic is doing right by me by following videos like this. 😉
Call Nissan they might have a recall and you might get it fix for free, if not all you need to do is take the fuse out and since it won’t engage without a fuse you won’t have that problem no more , that’s how I fix mine 09 Nissan Altima
@@BillSW I believe is slot #40 A 10 amp fuse under the engine bay, took the cover under the steering column, Tap the Escl box which is metal box the size of a cards deck until it disengage the lock and allows the car to turn on, once the car is running remove the 10 amp fuse under the hood. Hope this helps. Also call Nissan headquarters. There’s a recall for this.
Same symptoms are in a car I went too check! No communication with the key! No lights on the cluster only the message center with a key message! No communication with the scanner! I have the IM600 profesional lock smith key programming tool doesn’t let you communicate with the module,went home check Mitchell 5 check schematic! Check power distribution and everything check out... not too mention in this Nissan you have to check the positive battery terminal because the have fuse links...then I watched your video and bingo that was the problem! So I recommend too safe time and take it to Nissan because of the issue going on with aftermarket parts and learning key’s... thank you for your video was right in the money!
@@NNKH2 Well you remember I say too take the Nissan Altima to the Dealership but no he buy the Dorman part# 601-037 that’s comes with the programming tool well that doesn’t work and before you start programming they ask you if the key fob key work the lock and unlock and that was working...after a firs try nothing works! Hum Saturday night working with this situation and I send a link of your video! Well I have to pull my IM600 and know I have access but this is the tricky part is like the Mazda the tool pull a 5 digit code then you have to go on the wed and pay for tokens and get the PIN calculation. I use this website and is 24/7 ... weboctopus.nl that’s the best...! An the tokens never expire!!! Cars is running that’s fix...but my friend what a nightmare! I should make a video ...
Ok I finally figured and fixed this problem. Behind the cluster is the BCM. I replaced it along with the fuse block in the engine compartment. wasn't communication between the two. Both from the junkyard $40 reprogrammed the key which were new and was the initial problem. Car started right up.
Nissan Dealer is telling me its the Steering Control Box. With labor is going to cost $1300. How did you eliminate the Steering Control Box as the problem?
On some of the Nissan ,when programming the Key fob, the hazard lights have to be on. Weird thing is theres hardly any info published that tell you this. Nissan is very secretive about a lot of there repair info.
That module was the issue. It got stuck for whatever reason. If you can get the two bolts out, you can push it in and start it. Some people drill a hole through it and stick a screw in it to prevent it from ever locking up.
@@DaelinTV took out the panel on the left and middle (prying it open with a butter knife), then used the bottom of a screwdriver to hit the interlock module a number of times
@@stevet9374 and that held up? I tried smacking it without taking the panel off from the small side facing the brake pedal. Did you hit it from the bottom (the large face)
@@DaelinTV yup hit it from the center bottom…Kept smacking it constantly and then hit the start button, and repeated until everything started. Basically there is tiny motor like part in the interlock that is stuck. Smacking it constantly seemed to loosen it up
step son had an issue with the car not wanting to start intermittently. Replaced the battery as it was bad but the car still would not start. Went through all the steps trying to reprogram keys and checking fuses and what not. Finally this morning i got under the dash and used a blunt phillips and a hammer and gave it a couple light taps and it fired right up. Now the question is replacing the unit will probably be a a deal. I am wondering if there is a work around to getting it disengaged and cutting power to it so it doesn't re-lock.
Supposedly if you pull the steering lock fuse while it's running/disengaged, it will no longer be a problem. I have an OE replacement (found one for $305 on eBay) on the way, but I'm going to try hitting it to start and pulling the fuse until then
Hey thank you for the video. it’s happened to me too with after I installed dorman interlock system. Please let me know what did you find out with your Vehicle
@@serenitymareebeauty it's a lock under the steering they stopped using that system so they will replace another box with no lock so u won't have the issue again
I'm having this same issue - I have both a red car outline with key in middle and a yellow key light ON. Went in the store came out and would not start. I have two sets of keys (fobs) and tried both so it's not a battery in the fob issue. The tow truck driver checked my car battery and it was 11. (something, a little low but all lights, locks, horn, trunk work with my fob. The car will not move out of park, brake pedal is stiff ... nothing is moving. I have tried the key fob up to the push button, and inserted in the place on the left as you show in your video and nothing. I also listened to your other suggestions but I'm a woman who lives alone and I can't afford to be getting stranded - so I don't want to have to be hitting that box every time to get it started :) So bottom line, should I take it to a reputable auto mechanic shop OR is this something THEY will refer me to the Nissan dealer after they charge me for all the diagnostics? I don't want to pay for double diagnostics and labor ...for sure! Thanks so much for you video!!
Ok so my 2011 had no problem starting, but recently when at a stop would turn off and shut down my car for 30 seconds then after a minute would say push to start n everything come back on , this is well driving lol any ideas
the 2009 and 2010 has a recall for the steering interlock. Dealer will replace it for free. They did not notify the public about this because they say it's not a "safety" issue. I beg to differ, if this leaves you stranded in a sketchy area after dark, I would say it IS a safety issue! Just call the dealer and ask about the recall. They will ask for the VIN (vehicle identification number) and verify your vehicle is "covered". Took them 45 minutes for a permanent repair.
Moral of all this. Is this model’s ignition component needs to go. If this many customers ate having issues. They need a better ignition switch. This many customers should not be having an issue with it!
If you've been working on cars for any amount of time you should know to never use dorman for anything electrical. Dorman can't even get non electrical components right.
@@DaelinTV not really. My wife's car was having a similar issue. Her main key only starts the car if you use the key (fob) to press the start button. Almost if the antenna in the fob isn't working.

same thing for me. smacked it a few times, nothing. almost gave up, then just quick steady taps and she started up after about 15 seconds. if the first steps dont work, keep tapping. would love to know how to properly replace the part though. last thing i need is the dorman curse!
Hi I have a question about my 2012 Nissan Altima... what can I do i have to fix if every time I get in the car I need to insert the key fob in the little port?
Just so u know this car is a maxima not an altima also that mechanism is covered under a recall from Nissan in 2009 they have a replacement that does not have that lock anymore and u need the updated part u don't go on amazon or ebay for this cause u will have the issue again I now own a 2012 and they no longer use that box
That problem is the steering lock mechanism which nissan will replace for free under a recall and the updated part they removed the lock don't waste your money on aftermarket

Didnt need to remove anything. Crawled up under there, pulled on panel and banged away. After 5 blows i could her the power turn on.
Change the break lock on top of the breaks theres a box on top of the breaks
SO WHAT WRONG WITH THE CAR
My 2012 Nissan is doing that right now I was paranoid sitting in my car at night his I see why it locked in me but sheesh it’s annoying !
excelente video muy agradecido
Just stick the key fob in the compartment push the break and then the start button without removing the keyfob and done
I just change the battery
Is this supposed to be a joke???
Why
No it worked for my car Im so happy I save so much money today thanks for the video it was a miracle
Call Eric o from south main auto
This IA the exact same thing that happened to me right now

Okay. It's spelled Altima btw
So complicated why couldn't they just have a key Ignition
Set up similar to the 2009 murano
Doorman is junk. If thats your only option for any aftermarket part, save yourself the headache and go with oem.
its free its a recall go to nissan and change it
I’m having this problem and I hit it I think and nothing still didn’t work
Always use OEM
