Chances are, you have a problem with the solenoid contacts inside the solenoid that is mounted on the starter assembly. It is a very common problem with a lot of the starters used on some Nissan products. Here is a very good site that explains the repair procedure, or you can just have the starter assembly replaced.

Hi NISSAN PRIMERA P12 2002 D SVE 18 MARCH 2024

Hello, Malcolm. It seems like you are facing an issue with the alarm system of your Nissan Primera P12 from 2002. Based on the symptoms you've described, it does sound like there might be a fault with the alarm system or the central locking mechanism.
Given that you have already tried a few troubleshooting steps such as disconnecting the battery and replacing the micro switches, it might be a good idea to further investigate the alarm system itself. Since the hazard lights are flashing without any audible alarm sound and the central locking is behaving inconsistently, there could be a fault in the alarm control unit or wiring.
One possible cause could be a faulty alarm module or a loose connection in the wiring harness related to the alarm system. It's also worth checking the condition of the alarm siren to ensure it is functioning properly.
Considering that the issue seems to have improved after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, it's possible that there is an intermittent fault related to the power supply or a reset of the alarm system.
If the problem persists, it might be best to consult with a professional mechanic or an auto electrician who can perform a more in-depth diagnostic test on the alarm system to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
In the meantime, if you experience the hazard lights flashing again, try to document when and under what circumstances it occurs. This information can be helpful in diagnosing the problem more accurately.
I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck in resolving the issue with your Nissan Primera P12. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or have any more questions.

2002 nissan altima wont crank?

Check the transmission neutral start inhibit switch is not the cause of your problem. (try both 'P' to 'N' positions).
If the headlights work ok there should be enough power in the battery to at least make a solenoid type noise when start is attempted- so it may not be caused by a faulty alternator.
Check the battery terminals are clean and firmly attached to the battery,
Check battery is properly grounded to the chassis and motor,
Check that +12v is available at the starter motor engage solenoid when the ignition switch is held in the 'start' position - check any start slave relay operation.
If all above is OK, you may have a faulty starter motor.
