you know when you leave your key in the ignition, but not turned on or anything, it goes beep....beep...beep when you open the door
well when i take out the key and open my door to get out it beeps like the key is still in.. but when i put it back in and take it out it stops... this has happened to me several times and just don't know why its doing it...i do have a clifford alarm and didn't happen before i got it and didn't happen right after i installed, so im a little bit confused, do you think its got to do with all that wiring for the alarm or maybe its just the car?

 

My money would be on alarm but I don't have an '04 so I can't tell you if it's normal behavior.

 

would the dealer fix that kind of prob, or should i take it to the installer ?

 

Well, I'd check with the installer first. The dealer isn't responsible for fixing something someone else may have broken.

 

I had the same problem on my old prelude before I got the S, and it was a clifford alarm.

 

My prelude does it, it's just a honda thing, my friend's accord does it also...

It's a friendly reminder that the key is still in the ignition.

 

That's not the behavior of my '04. When key is out, opening a door is silent (Unless of course your lights are on....in which case you get a steady tone) I agree with the earlier posts by Ludedude, see your alarm installer.

 

Interesting, this has been the behavior on mine and I don't have an alarm.

I'm suspecting that it has something to do with how I lock or unlock the doors (keyfob vs. actual door locks) when getting out of the car, but I haven't really investigated it.

 

testing... 1, 2, 3...

 

Sounds like the beeper should be wired to ignition switched 12V and is instead wired to direct battery 12V.

Who installed your alarm?
