Hi guys

Sorry for asking nut have been around everywhere trying to get this solved and can't seem to get it anywhere. Have to try here.

I have bought recently a Accord Tourer 2005 2.2 i-CTDi

The passenger side window switch was broken so I replaced it.

Then discovered that the main switch on driver side only pulled passenger window down, not up.

Bought a new main switch and replaced it.

Reprogrammed the auto function, and is ok.

All windows work fine, I'm glad with the repair.

Thing is my key fobs stopped working. So I had to search for ways to code them back in the car.

Followed a tutorial putting the car in programming mode then pressing lock buttons on every key and voilá.... The doors already open with key fobs.

My tourer has electric tail gate with key fob button to open/close.

That won't work. The key fob blinks but the tail gate does nothing. Don't open or close.
The tail gate closes fine using the tail gate button, but not with the key fob one.
It closes fine manually and if I just barely close it, the electric switch pulls it in and closes the rest.

Just stopped recognizing key fob commands.

Everything was working fine before the mainwindow switch replacement.

Once I got the key fobs working, it seems that I have to press 2 times to unlock the car.
Didn't do that before.
I'm talking about diferent quick moments. It took me about an hour to replace and code.
Never disconnected battery.

It could be my bad judgement but I think the remotes worked from greater distance than now and needed only a touch to unlock the car, but now I have to be close to the car and press 2 times on the unlock button.

Just in case this could be related to the problem with the tail gate button on keyfob not working the auto tailgate.

Thank you all and would appreciate any input on how I can solve this or where I went wrong.
 
I had a similar problem when my battery went flat!!! recharged battery but nothing but nothing would open the tailgate keyfob cabin release and the tailgate itself...so i disconnected the battery for 10 mins reconnected it and hey all works fine try it hopefully it will be as simple as that
 
Already did that. Disconnected the battery for 5, 10, 30 minutes... even for a whole night. Nothing... still the same. No key fob tailgate function.
