S2000 (2001) UK - Hamilton Palmer issues
Hi,
I have had an issue with this alarm before, but different this time.
A few days ago, suddenly neither of my fobs would work to unlock the car.
But strangely (and luckily), the immobiliser is disarmed?
So I can unlock the car with the key, like a caveman, then just put the key in the ignition and start the car as usual.
Just wondering if anyone knows the issue?
I have spoken to Hamilton Palmer who told me that I would have to send the unit and key fobs to them for a lovely fee of £145ish.
I would rather avoid this, as I plan to have an after market alarm installed in the future (but not right now, as I just spent £845 on a new roof).
Any ideas?
Both key fobs are the very non-OEM looking units with 2 buttons.
Looks like cheap chinese crap, but I know they were fitted to the S2000s in the UK.

The immobiliser and H and P Alarm are different systems.
The immobiliser is built into the key and is a standard Honda Part and separate from the H and P stuff, which is basically an alarm system for the door/boot/bonnet openings, plus interior.
So, as long as you have the key, the door can be unlocked and the car started.

Also, check the actuators: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/uk-irela...locks-1175323/

Thanks lovegroova,
Does that mean the remote locking part is Honda or H+P?
I did check some fuses today, 5, 25 and 26 - but have since been told to check the block of 4 fuses that have a clear cover, which are close to the fuse box itself.
Sound about right?

The H&P is essentially an aftermarket alarm system, so best to think of it like that. I'm afraid I don't really have any expertise on fuses and such like. You might get better answers asking in the UK section, as there are a few folk with some good knowledge of the H&P system.
