I have a 2005 Honda Pilot with 63,000 miles. I've replace the small battery in our most used keyless entry remotes about a year ago. Now a year later, the same keyless remote is not functioning; I replaced the battery in the keyfob correctly today, but it still does not work. The second keyless remote is working fine. Any ideas, before I check with the Honda dealership? thanks
First, Congratulations on a '05 with just 63k miles. The '05 Pilot was the penultimate in Honda's fleet to date.
Try removing the battery and using a pencil eraser, scrub the contacts holding the battery in place.

First thing is to try passenger door (that still has key lock for '03,
doesn't it?) Or the rear hatch. I'll bet it won't work there, either,
unless battery is disconnected. My guess is that the remote locking is
staying at "lock" - which is why it works with battery disconnected.
I haven't heard of anything just like your problem, but there have been
many who have to replace the RKEM (Remote Keyless Entry Module) - it's
behind the radio. Usually the doors start to lock & unlock by
themselves.

How can I re-syncronize the remote keyless entry system on my year 2000 Honda Accord

Usually ekectronics and water don't mix. If you managed to dry it, it may work, but not the same. If you are really lucky, it will work fine. When dropping anything electronic in water, do not press any buttons and remove the battery immediately. Dry the insides carefully as best you can. Cotton swabs work well. Then allow to dry for a long period of time. Replace the battery with a new battery and may work. I feel the dealer will not fix the remote for $200 but more likely they will give you a new one and program it for you. What I did for one car, was to go on e-bay and you will find an OEM keyless entry remote for less than half the price. Sometimes, there are programming instructions included in the price. Another vehicle, I was missing the remotes, and went to a scrap yard. They usually have all the remotes in a bin where you can pick and choose the best ones. You need to locate your FCCID # on the back of yours and match it with the same. Sometimes various FCC #s can be mixed. I then searched online for programming instructions and followed them. It worked great! The remote was $25 and saved $60 for programming.
Good luck.

If you still have the factory radio, there is a way to split the power wire for the factory radio to the aftermarket radio. All you will need are the power and ground for your aftermarket radio, so the rest of the wires should be untouched on the plug for the factory radio. You can simply re-install the radio within the dash and retain the keyless entry as well as restoring your dome light function. Here's a PDF of some instructions. If you did not keep the radio, I would suggest looking online or ins ome junk yards, because it is needed. www.installdr.com/InstallDocs/Honda/PDF/466013.pdf
