Keyless Entry: Lights dont flash but car unlocks? How do u make the lights flash?
 

Ok i got my new keyless remote today and programmed it. The door lock and unlock but the horn doesnt sound and the lights dont flash.

I would like to wire it so the lights at least flash [useful for locating car in crowded lots]- how would i wire it to function this way?

What wire gets power when you press lock/unlock from the remote? All I would have to do is run a wire from that and splice it to the headlights/taillights to make them flash right?

I only want the lights to flash when unlocking.locking via remote, i dont want them to flash every time i lock or unlock from inside the car...

Thanks for any help....

You can make the horn honk...but thats about it

I tried a few years ago to make the parking lights flash too. Tried all sorts of different ways, with and without relays - just wouldnt happen.
I was going about it, using the grey "horn" wire at the back of the deck (its a ground btw) and even a signal from the locks themselves - neither would cause the lights to flash. I think the signal time is just too short

thanks for the tip pdigg, any info on how to make the horn honk? suck about the lights https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif but a honk would be better than nothing https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

Its something to do with that "option" button
I dont remember exactly what combination order you press them in, but try holding that and lock/unlock the doors.

yeah the new control i got doesnt have a option button [but my original one did]

the lock/unlock on this control works but panic doesnt... FCC ID: A269ZUA106

any idea why lock and unlock would work but panic wouldnt?

grr http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif

not really..
only thing i can suggest is that it has something to do with being a different ID remote

ok my panic button works, just had to hold it for a second or two...

so my control has lock, unlock, and panic.... when i press lock/unlock the dome light comes on and off... but i cant get the goddamn thing to beep...

does anyone know how to toggle beep with this kinda remote??

You have the wrong kind of remoet it sounds like. Pressing the option button should turn the beep on and off.

Re: Remote with option button to turn on the horn beep
 

I have a remote with the option button (FCC ID: A269ZUA101, CANADA: 700101489, REF NO.HFR-610, P/N: 08E61...). My 1997 Civic User manual says to push the lock and option buttons for 2 sec to turn on/off the horn beep. Also the parking lights flash, but I guess this is related to the Honda security system (control by the same remote) on my car.

I called my Honda dealer and they told me the P/N of the remote which is compatible with my Civic. You can also go to http://www.handaaccesories.com and look for the 3 button remotes which are compatible with your car. Cheers

The lights don't flash for plain keyless entry on the '96-'98 Civics though.

Just want that to be clear.
