BelfastMum, firstly I was under the impression that the vehicle has to have 2 Keys. With our last 3 Cars when Trading In I was asked for the 2nd Key. I have attached a YouTube video of a US Nissan Altima which has some Tips on what to look for regarding internal damages despite the Water Problem - it might help Dave 🙂

NISSAN ALTIMA KEY FOB TROUBLESHOOT :
11.19/1.3L/160PS/Tekna+/DCT/PrOPILOT/KAD Gun Metallic/Trunk Lower Finisher/Rear Glass Finisher/Ambient Lighting-LED’s Innen/Entry Guards Illuminated/Sport Pedals/Front Styling Plate/LED No.Plate/Chrome Door Handles/Rear Valance/Giacuzzo Alloys + Falken
