Hi, csm you list the alarm codes for me as i am having trouble finding the details

Whoopee.... Update for y'all..... Rear hi level light problem caused by broken wire in harness going around right hand boot hinge... and light wasn't faulty after all. Rear door open indication cleared and alarm now fully functional. I suspect the breaking brake light wire was confusing the body...

Hi jerseyman Glad you had a success, hopefully. Just to put a fly in the ointment, i had no cobra alarm fitted, i inspected all the wiring around the hinges, on both sides, all seeming ok. Removing all cable loom tape to view cables was a chore and bundling them with individual wraps of tape to...

Failed again, with hft removed. Tailgate warning showing and battery volts gine down a bit. Will check current drain tomorrow ti see if something is pulling current in off state.

I have been chasing alarm faults and have found the Cobra alarm is not fitted to my tourer, having searched for it in the rear offside and nearside quarters.... I think it is built in and Cobra alarms may be a after market fit to sell off late 07accords without alarms to clear stock before new...

Hi jerseyman, The switch is on the bonnet catch, remove plastic trim between shiny grill front and metalwork near radiator... Lots of plastic rivets... Pop up the middle of them using a forked device... I filed a notch in a screwdriver first time but bought a special tool to remove them with...

Hi Honda_saj Update.... I thought i had a dedicated siren but it is not so... I have 2 tones and both operate in alarm condition.... So can't isolate the siren. However as the alarm isn't a cobra one with backup batteries i think it only uses the main battery and I suspect the shorting link...

Will update tomorrow... Its getting a bit late now and i will be losing my bits and pieces... Am recharging my new main battery as it was virtually flat.... Got the one I replaced and found it had life left in it.... So on car while new one recharges... Will chat tomorrow

Have just tested horn and it is a two tone horn... And seem to be from other side of front... Will look tomorrow to see if the siren is one tone and a second one on other side is the other tone.... If not I can disconnect the siren and reconnect the bonnet wiring. I may have a bluetooth Hands...

Thanks for getting back quickly.... The pic of the siren is like the used ones on ebay as Honda Accord 2003-7 alarm horn/siren and sells at £10-20 and has one fixing strap and apparently according to the ebay ad had only 1wire connection.... So it must not be the home of the electronics and...

I planned to replace battery pack in siren, supposedly in rear offside quarter of tourer, obtained battery pack, stripped rear trim etc out of boot and no siren module to be found. As i had disabled the alarm to prevent spurious alarms by removing the bonnet plug from bonnet catch and inserting...

Sure do. May eventually resort to fitted battery in siren box but for now am happy with it as it is and my alarm battery is seemingly holding charge....accessing siren in estate seems to be a bit of a job and not worth the trouble yet.... I can reinstate the bonnet contact easily enough if needed.

Hi scottydog... It took no more than 10-15mins to access plug and link it I dont know what vehicle you are referred too.... Mine is a Honda Accord tourer and removing floor carpet and side trim is a bit of a FAFF, and breaking lugs and fixings are likely if you are not familiar with the...

Hi Steve, I had same issues and went to the trouble of getting the alarm battery.... £20..but have not fitted it yet as i dont want to have to strip out all the carpet and trim in the boot... Just yet..... What I have done is disabled the alarm by disconnecting the bonnet contact wire behind the...
