I had this happen befor where i unlocked my car while approching it and no lights went off nor did the horn cherp. I also thought this was strange. I realized then that i accidently popped the rear hatch with the remote. So i shut closed the hatch completely, problem solved.

How do u deactivate it..my light is on and idk how to deactivate it on my 350z
So we went to hooters to eat about 100 wings between 6 people, not to bad and all. I don't remember locking my car when i got to the restaurant, maybe i did, i don't know.
On the way out, i press the alarm button, the lights don't flash, hmm.. strange, i think maybe i'm not within range, so i put the remote under my chin, still no lights flashing. i'm standing right next to my door, pressing the remote, no lights flash, but i can hear the lock/unlock of the car. i lock the car with the remote, but the horn doesn't go off (i have it set so that it does).
So i get in the car, try to start it and it doesn't turn on, it just cranks like if there was no fuel in it. I'm thinking at this point, this is just great....my friends think it's the battery, but i'm telling them that it's not, because it wouldn't crank like that if the battery was dead, and according the the voltage meter it says i'm ok.
Then i notice that the alarm light is not going off, it stays red the whole time...i start thinking that maybe the alarm was triggered somehow. So thankfully i remember reading the manual one day when i was bored about the immobilizer thingamagig. i don't know how that got activated, but i was able to deactivate it and drive home eventually.
So anyone know how the immobilizer gets activated? Did someone try to break into my car? because nothing inside was missing (all i have is a radar detector actually). there are no signs of breaking in by the keyholes, maybe i left the door open and someone accidentally opened it? i don't know, what do you guys think?
