well after locking my car/arming the alarm the other day, i came back outside and my remote all of the sudden stopped working. after some trouble i finally managed to reset the alarm itself so it turned off, but im now stuck with locking and unlocking the car with the keys, and i obviously cant arm the alarm. anyone knows if its remote failure? could it possibly be something on the car's end? do i have to take it to a dealer and get something reset. by the way its a silencer alarm, im guessing factory installed. i already tried new batteries and the spare remote. thanks.

 

bump.

 

have the installer check all components of alarm...I hope it's under warranty-

 

well the car seems to be purchased in norcal, and im here in los angeles im like the thrid owner of this car or something.

Try checking the fuse for the alarm.

 

good idea i havent thought about that yet. thanks.

 

Hey Dukers, we seem to have somewhat the same problem. My alarm doesnt respond to my remote anymore either, but I cant seem to de-activate the alarm so I cant move the car. I'm completely clueless when it comes to cars, so I dont know so much as all of you guys. But, if you solve your problem let me know how you did it so I can try the same. (where is the fuse for the alarm?)

I'm working with a 1997 Honda Civic EX coupe.

yo man. i was in the same boat where i couldnt deactivate my alarm for a day so my car just sat there with the battery disconnected. i called up the acura dealership my car was originally bought from and someone told me how to deactivate it, so now i can drive my car at least. all i had to do was put the key in the ignition, turn it twice so the cars system starts up, then connect the battery and that should kill the alarm. hopefully that works for you. as of now though my alarm isnt functioning. if i get any further with it ill let ya know here.

i looked into this this morning and no luck. i checked the fuses under the dash and under the hood, and didnt see one for the alarm. can anyone help me with this one?

 

https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/login.asp go here, or http://www.honda.com and register and you can get you manuals 94

 

Thanks to FCM and directed.com I was able to get a copy of my alarm system manual (Hornet 700T) and I figured out how to put it in valet mode which leaves me able to drive the car but no alarm and no remote responses still.

So Dukers, I guess you can now say we are "officially" in the same boat in terms with our car alarm/remote situation. I'm going to try calling several Honda dealerships and/or asking car audio stores about this stuff, since my friend told me most of those people know how to work with these buggers.

As of now I'm still going to try several things to get this restarted. Someone recommended me to remove the - charge on the car battery and put it back on, then everything should be reset, going to give that a try.

No good, removing the negative charge on the battery did nothing. When I replaced it the system just set striaght back into Valet mode.

Reprogramming Keyless Entry Remotes

 

thanks for the info. im going to try this out.

edit: i just tried both methods on that post linked above and nothing. any ideas?

They are instructions for programing oem remotes to an oem alarm, you don't have an oem alarm, you will need the install guide for programing the remotes, I can't get at it from my home PC, I will check at work tomorrow 94

 

ohh gotcha. thought id give em a try anyways haha. yeah im pretty sure i have an aftermarket alarm but it was factory installed. the alarm i have is 'silencer'. thanks man.

Modified by JaHu at 4:21 PM 7/25/2005</TD></TR></TABLE>OK, here we go, the Hornet 700T is a non R/F alarm, it did not come with remotes, this alarm was designed to install into cars that have oem key-less entry, you arm and disarm the 700T by using the oem remote, the 700T is wired to the cars oem door locks, when you lock the doors, [with the oem remote oe the power door lock switch] it arms the 700T and when you unlock the doors it disarms the 700T.
So you may want to look into blacktegmd's link on re-programing oem remotes 94

 

I didnt mean to hijack the thread but I just though this way we can both get help on the same thread. I've tried that re-programming method but its no good. I'm having trouble exiting valet mode now so that is probably the problem. It is possible that the valet switch is a little broken but not likely. Thanks again I'll check with the DEI retail locator and run by their shop.

</TD></TR></TABLE>I just meant I missed the hijack, and killing 2 birds with one stone is always a good idea. Getting out of valet is the reverse of going into valet, if it's not working now, it could be the switch, you can test this by just shorting the term on the back of the switch when you are trying to take it out of valet. You are going to have to get the remote programing guide for your car from Honda/Acura, [don't think you mentioned what the car was] that is if the key-less entry is the oem one and not another aftermarket unit like the Hornet 700T, it could be that an aftermarket key-less entry was installed and then later the alarm was installed, and they just didn't want to remove the key-less entry and install an alarm with a R/F section What does the remote look like, are there any markings on it, Does it say Honda or Acura on the remote? 94

 

Just got back from a store and the guy there didn't know what to do and said he couldn't help me, this was from a store located from DEI.com...

Oh yeah for my specific details, I've got a 1997 Honda Civic EX and the remote has a Honda emblem on it. So I don't know what that means but I've successfully taken it out of valet mode and re-entered it to drive it at the stereo/alarm store. My next target is probably going to be a Honda dealership but someone told me they wont touch it either because it's an aftermarket alarm. I'm really stumped now..

Would purchasing a Owners manual from Honda help?

The alarm is aftermarket, but the key-less entry is an oem Honda unit, as the remote suggests, and to reprogram the remote you will need the Honda guide, once the remote is programed, the alarm should work, try this, sit in car, with the alarm out of valet, the ign. off, lock the doors using the power door lock button, see if the alarm arms, then unlock the doors using the power door lock button, if the alarm to door lock interface was done without diodes, this will arm, [LED will start flashing] the alarm, and disarm it, [the LED will stop flashing] if this happens, the alarm is ok, it's just not installed properly, if it does not arm and disarm, then it was installed properly, [diodes used] or the alarm is N/G, you will need to get the remote working, to find out 94
