Is your Nissan Murano 2007 key fob not working as it should, or have you acquired a new key fob that needs programming? Fortunately, programming a standard keyless entry remote for your 2007 Nissan Murano can often be done right in your driveway without a trip to the dealership. This guide provides you with straightforward steps to program your key fob, getting you back on the road with a fully functional remote.
Programming Your Standard Nissan Murano 2007 Key Fob
Before you begin, ensure you have your new key fob and your Nissan Murano 2007 vehicle. It’s important to note that if your Murano uses a silver ‘smart key’, this DIY programming method will not work. Silver smart keys require professional programming by a dealer or a qualified locksmith due to the advanced security features. However, for standard keyless entry remotes, follow these steps carefully:
-
Enter and Secure Your Vehicle: Get into your 2007 Nissan Murano and close all doors completely. Once inside, use the power door lock switch located on the driver’s side door panel to lock all doors. Do not use your remote for this step.
-
Ignition Key Cycling: This step involves quickly inserting and removing your ignition key from the ignition switch. Insert your key into the ignition cylinder and pull it out completely. Repeat this insert and remove action a total of six times within a ten-second period. It’s crucial to fully insert and remove the key each time, maintaining a relatively quick pace of roughly one second per cycle. If you perform this step correctly, the hazard lights of your Nissan Murano should flash automatically. If the hazard lights do not flash after six attempts, try repeating the process, this time inserting and removing the key ten times within the ten-second timeframe. The hazard lights flashing is your confirmation that the vehicle has entered programming mode.
-
Enter ACC Mode: Insert the key back into the ignition switch and turn it to the ACC (Accessory) position. This is the position right before you would start the engine.
-
Program the First Remote: Within five seconds of turning the ignition to ACC, take your new remote and press the lock button once. If the programming is successful for this remote, your Nissan Murano’s hazard lamps will flash again, confirming that the remote’s signal has been recognized and programmed by the vehicle.
-
Programming Additional Remotes (Optional): If you have more remotes to program, including existing remotes that you want to ensure continue to work, you must program them all in this session. To program additional remotes, first, use the power door lock switch on the driver’s side door to UNLOCK then LOCK the doors. Again, do not use a remote for this step. Within five seconds of locking the doors, take the next remote you wish to program and press the lock button on that remote once. The hazard lamps will flash to confirm successful programming of this additional remote. Repeat this exact process for every remaining remote you need to program.
-
Exit Programming Mode: Once you have programmed all desired remotes, turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and completely remove the key from the ignition. Then, use the power door lock switch on the driver’s side door to UNLOCK all doors. Do not use the remote at this stage.
-
Test Your Remotes: Finally, test each of your newly programmed remotes to ensure they are working correctly. Press the lock and unlock buttons on each remote to verify they properly control the door locks of your Nissan Murano 2007.
If you encounter any difficulties during these programming steps, or if you have a silver smart key, it’s recommended to seek assistance from a professional. You can locate a certified key fob installer in your local area for expert programming services.
