Hey Ken,
New challenge.
2000 Xterra SE Auto
Here's the scoop. When you arm the Xterra alarm the horn should toot and the lights should flash twice (not in silent mode, silent mode, lights flash twice only) and of course all doors lock.
My truck, when you arm the alarm, only the horn toots and the doors lock but no lights flash. In silent mode the only thing that happens is the doors lock... no toot (supposed to be that way) and no lights flash (that's bad)
I've read the the instruction manual to confirm this and I've also ensured all doors are properly closed. I've also checked a multitude of fuses...What next?

shwlark documented this very same problem in a previous "problems and annoyances" thread. He said that he fixed his by replacing a fuse that was seperate from the "anti-horn" fuse. I've posted a reply asking which fuse this is. No Reply though
I've checked almost every fuse under the hood and in the internal fuse box...
Could you tell me where this "fuse/relay" may be or give me some pointers into tracking down the source of this problem.

Thanks again.

I had the same problem
I think I remember that you have an ARB?
Did you hook up the indicator lights to your signals?
That is what I did and these extra lights would blow the hazard light fuse. It happened to me twice so I put in a 15 amp fuse instead of the 10 amp and it hasn't blown since. Easy test put on you hazards.
Hope this helps

I love this forum!
Gearhead that was it! I owe you a cold one!
All who have had this problem... this makes three confirmed cases. Those upgrading to ARB should replace your 10amp hazard fuse with a 15 amper.

Thanks again GH

Me too!

I wouldn't have guessed that you had an ARB.

That one had me baffled for about two days then I was sitting in the seat just staring at the dash saying what the f could it be and hit the hazards and bingo.
