    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    My local dealer charged £60 an hour labour so looks like it could have been worse than it was! Have to say I was impressed with the service, kept me up to date with everything they came across and were always letting me know the costs involved, etc. And the technician that worked on it came out...

    Type S body kit questions

    Still very new to the world of Accord ownership so sorry for all the questions, I've done a bit of searching but couldn't find definitive answers. I have a diesel tourer, I know the petrol Type S bumper and grill won't fit, but will the lower lip/splitter/spoiler part fit on my diesel bumper...

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Well it went into four figures in the end, parts alone were just under £600 :( Should have been more as well, they spent 21 hours working on it in total but only billed for 10 hours.

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    The car is fixed! After taking it to a couple of auto electricians only to be told they can't get hold of Honda wiring diagrams, I bit the bullet just after Christmas and booked the car in to my local Honda dealership to have it on the diagnostic machine to find out what was wrong. Well, it...

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Another update! I got into contact with the previous owner and found a receipt from a few weeks back from an auto electrician so contacted him as well and it turns out the car had been diagnosed with a faulty fuse box. Apparently, it had the central locking problem for months and the auto...

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Thanks Brett, didn't get round to checking the battery as I think the neighbours are starting to get slightly annoyed with the alarm going off. I think I'm going to give a few places a ring tomorrow to see what they say and then check the battery tomorrow when I get in from work. Just running it...

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Replaced the batteries in the key fobs and tried the reprogramming but that didn't work, the alarm was still blaring out. I'm going to have to call around for someone to come out and have a look at it, I'm at my wits end with the car! I don't care about the remote central locking working, I just...

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Thanks again guys. I'll change the battery in the key fobs and try the reset and check the car battery with a multimeter and if they don't work I'll call out an electrician to look at it. Out of interest, does anyone know the battery size for the key fob?

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Thanks for the replies guys. Brett, read up in a few different threads about reprogramming the key and changing the batteries, would that be the cause of the alarm setting off? I'd have thought the key would still disarm it. Mike, I did notice the interior light for when the doors open was...

    Alarm goes off everytime I open the car

    Didn't want my first post to be about a fault with my new car but here goes. I went to see the car at the beginning of the week and the owner said the central locking had just stopped working from the remote, but the central locking worked fine with the key. On the test drive everything was...
