Security system; 1988 300ZX

Asked by Huskerrouser Aug 20, 2020 at 03:04 PM about the 1988 Nissan 300ZX 2 Dr GS 2+2

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Will the security system on the '88, 300ZX prevent the car from starting?  Mine doesn't start, but the starter is turning fine.  The engine will not fire.

1 Answer

Yes. If activated (attempting to open the doors, hood or rear hatch without the key), the theft warning system will activate the headlights and horn while making it impossible for the starter to operate. To cancel the headlights and horn and make it so the starter operates properly again, unlock the door or hatch with a key.
