My 2008 Accord EX Factory Alarm / Remote Key?

My 2008 Accord EX Factory alarm goes off after opening doors with key manually, does not shut off when turning on car, continues for 1 minute and shuts off. Interior master door lock does not lock or unlock and door locks. Neither does passenger electric door unlock/lock switch. Remote battery has been replaced with new one, second remote as well, and one of them was even reprogrammed, yet remotes do not control or operate door locks or alarm. similar to bad remote or battery, except in addition interior door switched do not work, and alarm does not shut off even after starting car etc. Any suggestions on possible faults, troubleshooting techniques? Rob

SOURCE: Car Alarm

sounds like the drivers side key switch has failed remove the interior door panel and there will be a switch attached to the back of the key lock cylinder or around there it should be two or three wires also check the door jamb wire harness where the door closes for any broken or damaged wires, use a vot meter and see if you get power or ground to the opposite side of the switch when you use the key to lock and unlock the door if nothing changes and there is power or ground! at this switch i would replace it, i don't think there is one but if the car has a passenger side key hole try to unlock the car from that side and see if you get the same problem -jeff

SOURCE: My Car wont let me start it

Well, my mom found a little button underneath the dash board on the drivers side. And I guess its kind of like the reset button. So she pushed it and started the car and it was fine!

SOURCE: The remote locks and unlocks all doors except the

I think you will have to start looking at the wires that go into the door by the hinge it could be a simple broken wire but you might have to remove the door panel to gain access to the locking solonoid by the door lock and check for power to it when operated, or the link that connects it having fallen off. (if fitted with a link, but normally are). No power to the solonoid is probably a broken wire or dirty connection, power but no movement is probably a stuck (seized up) or burnt out link/lock/solonoid.

I assume the factory alarm was somehow bypassed when they installed the remote start is there a way I can make the factory alarm work when the doors are opened without key,?

To arm content theft alarm.
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
SECURITY light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes off.

If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

How do I shut off my alarm?

Getting into a car that has the security system by unlocking the door with the key will set the alarm off. Usually you can relock and unlock the door with the key and the alarm will be turned off. There are several things that can set off an alarm depending on the sensors, so do you have a remote key FOB and if so does it work. I am including a link to Honda Tech article that may help you out:

Replacing battery and alarm goes off

Aftermarket alarm system?? If so it could be anything with that alarm. If it's the factory security system, this is totally normal. When you disconnect the battery and reconnect it, the system resets and automatically "panics" because it saw the power failure. If it's the factory system, simply have the key fob handy to turn it off after you connect the battery. If you don't have a remote fob, just put the key in the driver's door and unlock it. This will override and shut off the system.

Bought from dealer with no keyless entry. alarm activates when doors are locked with power doorlock system. alarm sounds when we open the door. how do we de-activate the alarm before unlocking the door?

Opening the drivers door with the key is supposed to shut down the factory security but the drivers key cylinder usually goes bad. You will have to unlock the rear tail gate lock cylinder with the key and that will shut down the factory security, before opening the drivers door.Your other option is to have an aftermarket keyless entry system installed, which will open the doors remotely while shut down the factory security at the same time.

try replacing remote batteries, but must have a second programmed key to reset first one in case its gets uncoded, best advise do not take long time to replace battery, if problem persist have a good honest mechanic inspect door key cylinder security switch if it is not disconnected, but before you do this, if right side front door or rear door has cylinder try opening vehicle from this doors, if they unlock vehicle and alarm doesn't go off you might have problems inside driver's door cylinder switch, on this year vehicle must use STAR SCANNER from chrysler jeep dodge to solve problems

Can not lock car by key remote . toyota rav 4 53 plate

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.
