'97 Honda Civic EX. Purchased new back in the day. I've had her almost 11 years now and nothing but routine maintenance along the way. Only 62K miles. Overall, a very satisfied Honda customer here. Last night, though, things turned dark and ugly.
The car is parked in my garage for the night and I'm ready to hit the sack. Go into the garage and I notice the car is freaking out. The dome light is flashing. . .the door locks are constantly locking and unlocking themselves. If I opened any of the doors it would set off the alarm. Closing the door and the alarm shuts down. But still, the flashing dome light and the crazed door locks are continuing. The remote control key fob was completely non functional. All I could think of doing was to disconnect the battery to shut her down. Which I did and all is well. Until, that is, I reconnect the juice and see what happens. But before I do I figured I ask about this here.
Any ideas before I bring her in to Honda and get whacked?

 

Kind of sound like a alarm problem, i dont know if thats anything a wierd ELD (electrical load detector) could cause though.

 

FWIW, I just reconnected the battery terminal and everything is functioning normally. Weird.
I'd bring it in for a checkup, but I suspect the problem would have to occur while it's in the shop, so I don't know if it's worth it.
