That's interesting another one that's playing up that's had LEDs fitted.......

Contrary to what some people are saying the genuine Nissan central locking, keyless entry and immobiliser system that is fitted to the GUs is good quality. Much better quality then the aftermarket kits. Yes some people have had problems, but when compared to the amount of vehicles that have been sold, I think you will find that percentages is very low. There is also a good chance these problems are caused by mods that have been done to the vehicle.

Most people also believe the remotes are the problem tassie wombat this is clearly not the case with your vehicle.

It's up to you if you want to put the time in and try and diagnose the problem (and possible expense) with the genuine system or you just want to throw an aftermarket remote and receive in it. Just don't think it's the magic pill, more then likely this system will give you trouble as well in the near future.

Understanding how the genuine system works will help you diagnose it. I recommend you have a read of the workshop manual.

If you had a problem with one of the door lock actuator the indicator lights will still flash and the rest of the doors should still lock. So I don't think your problem is here.

We know your remotes are OK so we a left with the remote receiver or one of it's inputs. As George said above it's possible a bad connection in the connector at the receiver or possibly a fault within the receive. Due to the erratic nature of your problem I still think it's a problem with the one of the inputs. This could be a voltage drop, bad earth or one of the inputs reading incorrectly.

Do you have the connector for the key left in ignition buzzer disconnected?

@ Yendor I have led internal Lights Every globe, worked fine until recently
First remote got wet. I don't think Roofy has LED being Old school and pretty
Sure his has failed to. I'll check my main earth tomorrow.
Does the Patrol have different earths for each section on Body??

If you turn the ignition off but leave the key in the ignition and open the drive side door does a warning buzzer go off?

I'm not talking about if one remote works fine and another remote doesn't work.

Electrical problems can sometimes raise their heads months later.

I'm not saying the LEDs are the problem I'm just thinking out load and giving possible causes/things to check.

The main earths to check are the ones on the driver side of the engine inlet manifold, the main body earth connected to the inner guard below the battery and the earth wire connected to the body of the alternator.

Do you still have one remote working correctly? have you tried the wd40 trick?

Tasiewombat apart from removing the LED interior light globes what have you checked ??

I just remembered a Kia i worked had a broken wire going from the master lock switch on the door that controlled the central locking mechanism.

Does your trol have a lock/unlock button ?? If it does when you press it do all the doors lock ??

You need to start a process of elimination so start with what Rodney has stated with the earths, remove and clean them and try again. Next try the door switch and then go to the connectors on the body control module and or the central locking control unit ( they could be one and the same )

Start with those and get back to us other wise we're going around in circles and confusing the situation further.
