hi. anyone know if there is a way to disable the alarm? or what could be causing it to go off? it started doing this on saturday afternoon. then seemed to stop over saturday night but last night it triggered at 10pm 2.40 am and 6am. not good for my sleep pattern. any ideas what could be casuing it? i am afraid the neighbours or the girlfriend may do her some damage if i dont get to the bottom of this...

 

its now just gone off at work, again around 4 hours after i locked it.

no indicator flashing tho they may been before, any ideas?

take your pick

 

cheers, honda dealer up here cant take a look for a week, hope the 4 flashes 3 flashes works....

 

My '52 Reg S did the same - started to go off for no reason.

Dealer replaced the alarm main PCB under warranty and it was sorted.

 

My 07MY just had a similar issue, although the alarm systems are not the same. Mine kept setting itself off and needed a new control unit.

NOT a fix but it may help to lock the car with the internal sensor disabled. on mine you lock and close the door with the outside door handle up. The red LED stays on for three seconds rather than flashing to indicate that the MW sensor is not active.

That allowed me to lock the car without getting a flat bettery.

BTW. if your battery is pants then the voltage drop will be enough to trigger the alarm. As we've just had a cold weekend that is a real option. cold weather will finnish off a marginal battery.

 

I had this about 3 months ago. On and off, then it went away. Last month the damn thing died totally, immobilising the car (Yes, despite the car having a perfectly serviceable Cat-2 immobiliser in the ECU, Honda and Hamilton Palmer fitted a Cat 1 alarm/immob combination!!! )

So you've two options:-
1) Pay c.

 

had it in my local honda dealer, they reduced the sensitivity as low as it would go, i drive back to work, half an hour later off it goes again. i go out set it for the internals to be disabled and half an hour later it goes again. i just left it and its now gone silent... wonder how long. i think i might have to leave it at work if its likely to go off all night again. back to honda tomorrow to get it disabled until they can book it in and see whats really gone wrong

 

That does sound like the circuit-board is acting up. Either that or one of the closure pins (bonnet most likely culprit) is making a connection somehow.

Final check - when it goes off again, disconnect the spade terminal from underneath the bonnet-pin and masking tape it (the wire-end of the terminal, not the pin-end) so it doesn't ground itself.

If it goes off again, it's the circuit board, if it doesn't it's the bonnet-pin!

 

cheers i will give that a go. some possible solution is at least something :-) thanks again
