Howdy y’all,
So, I was doing a parasitic draw test on my ‘00 Maxima (3.0 150-ish thousand miles) yesterday and one of the fuses I pulled ended up being the anti theft fuse. I wouldn’t think it mattered, but after putting everything back together the Immobilizer was triggered, security light on solid with KOEO and while cranking. I tried cycling the key 3 times before starting with no luck, and I tried leaving it KOEO for 15 minutes with no luck. The way I understand it, the anti theft relay sends ground to the immobilizer, so theoretically could I bypass it by pulling the relay? Any other ideas I can try besides going to the dealer?

Yes, I did, 5 soconds tined with a stopwatch. How long should the key stay off before repeating? I just went immediately back to KOEO, maybe that could be the problem? Or maybe I damaged the junction box when I pulled the fuse. There wasn’t a lot of room to get my needle nose on the fuse, there was some wiggling and jiggling in order to get it out. I just think it would be a hell of a coincidence if the key decided to fail immediately after all this, it’s almost surely something I did, just not sure what lol
As far as I know, there’s no time requirement between cycles, according to what I’ve read.
After the 3rd cycle, though, you should turn the key back to OFF, and then go to START, instead of going directly to Start from ON.
And, just to be clear, you were turning the key to ON, not ACCESSORY, during the procedure, right?
Well, it sounds to me like you’re going to need the services of a dealership and their magic scan tools. Sorry.
