I went out this morning to start to diagnose the problem of not having my keyless entry system work(see https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...ntry-help.html) and felt like maybe it was the actual LED lights them self. My thought process was that I could "lock" the car fine but as soon as I unlocked it(when all the dome and step lights come on), it froze the whole keyless entry system up for ~1min(which now I understand the limit because that is when the lights turned off)!

So I turned the switch that controls the map lights if the door is/ISN'T open to the off position and sure enough my keyless entry came back to life!!! Now the only problem is that my nice new LED map lights have to stay off if I want the keyless entry to work!! Anyone have any solutions/ideas to this!?

The exact bulb that is in the map lights is this one:

And if it of any importance, this one was also put in the step light yesterday as well(looks amazing! ):

FYI, I switches the map bulbs with the step bulbs and problem solved!! Very strange....guess the higher power LED's drew too much current!?

 

No the 'higher power' leds still would only use about half of what the OEMs use.. I think you got some defective bulbs

 

Hmmmm, those were my thoughts as well! Well, since moving the bulbs, now it's the step lights that are causing the issue. Before it was the dome lights, however, I DID move the bulbs around so I have this bulb in the step light now (http://www.v-leds.com/Interior-LED-B...-p8761206.html)

I CAN lock and unlock the car when the doors are closed(ha, imagine that) because the step lights are not illuminated, just the dome lights. As soon as I open the doors and the step lights illuminate, all keyless entry commands have zero result. Pretty crazy!

 

Could defective bulbs cause the keyless entry system not to work when the bulb is on?

 

4 months later, still having the same issue. LED bulbs are in the step lights and I cannot use any button of the keyless entry when the doors are open(because the step lights are on). Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas would be much appreciated!!! How could 2 LED bulbs be wreaking havoc like this!?

 

I used the simple 9 led "block" style for years and sometimes one of them would go on and off randomly, but not too bad.
I recently got some Surface mount, powerful leds to swap out, and when I tried to install, it screwed something up and now my interior lights aren't working. I'm going to try putting regular bulbs in and disconnecting battery, but I may need to get a new BCM I've read.
