My girlfriend drove 4 hours to visit this weekend. When she got here she had a cracked radiator. I took the liberty of replacing it along with the antifreeze. Most of the time when you service a car, it is recommended to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Now when I reconnect the terminal, the alarm goes off. I had forgotten this happens and I can't figure out how to silence the alarm and start the vehicle so that she can go home in a day or so. She bought the car used back in April and it never came with a keyfob or user manual. So my question is, how do I get the alarm to reset? TIA

Hit the valet switch? Or cut the siren.



Without a keyfob there is really no way to "disarm" it other than disconnecting the alarm.

 

Shiza. There is a little switch down by the kick panel that is in the 'off' position. I have no idea what it's for. The alarm appears to be stock from the honking horn. I can pull the fuse for the horn which stop the honking, but the lights continue to flash and I cannot start the car. I'm not sure what to do short of ordering a keyfob from the stealership. Any other suggestions anyone?

Found an Audiovox unit under the dash. Definately not stock. Disregard.

 

Is it possible to just pull the fuse for the alarm?

 

Well if you found the alarm box you can usually just disconnect every plug out of that box. There should be like 10 plugs going into for all the locks, lights, etc. If you unplug everything from the box it will all still work but the alarm will be gone.

 

I think its best and easier to find out why your alarm is active rather than tryin to disable it.

I'm sure you crossed some wires during radiator swap.

 

How about just disarming the damn thing. Stick your key in the ignition turn it to the Acc position and flip that toggle switch. This is the easiest and fastest way to get your accord on the road.
