Before I call the AA - Honda Civic 98 ALARM WONT SWITCH OFF

[scooby5555]

THREAD CLOSED ALL SORTED NOW - HAD SOMEONE COME OUT, BIT LIGHT IN THE POCKET NOW BUT LEAST ITS DONE - THANKS TO ALL CONTRIBUTORS AND ESPECIALLY MEAT HEAD FOR HELPING TO SOLVE THE PUZZLE......



Hi peeps,

Standard Honda factory CAT 1 alarm.

Basically the battery went flat and now the alarm keeps going off when triggered and the remote is not responding, the starter wont turn as the im*obiliser/starter cut off is kicking in its like the reciever box wont take a signal.

When I connect the booster the hazzards blink 24 times (is that a diagnostic code)

Valet mode wont work, having looked around fuse box, it looks like its been re-wired at some point.

Checked all fuses and connections, was working fine before car battery went and even then when I used the booster it was fine.

Any ideas to just bypass the starter cut off, it should work with key on and then valet switch pressed but thats not working.

As a last resort I will have to get the AA out, they should be able to disable it with all the stuff they have on their vixen laptops?

Any ideas?

Total n00b answer here mate, so ignore me if I'm talking crap, but have you tried inserting the key in the ignition and pressing the buttons on the key fob?

I think that pairs the fob to the immobiliser.

Thanks Witchy, yes tried that and all sorts of other pairing combinations, also tried autodata for re-learning but they cant be programmed. I also have a remote signal tester thing and it shows the remote putting out a signal.

personally would try two things.

Oh it's a H+P btw if standard honda, Hamiltion and Pamer

1) Try removing the big bundle of fuses from the 4(?) fuse holder wich are hanging in your face when you remove the lower fuse box cover
TRY STARTING THE CAR


2) If that fails then lift up the drivers seat, unscrew the main control unit, and then use a pair of pliers (unless you have the funky security tool) remove the screws, and slide out the inner core, now if memory is working correctly, the end two (one each end) are the immo circuits, THINK you will see a BLUE loop on 2 wires at one end and a WHITE loop at the other end.

use one of the fuse holders with a 10 amp fuse to join the two white loop together and same if blue, if car starts, then i'm the best!
If it starts, bin the fuses and join these two ciruits with a 2 double ended yellow butt connctectrs

remeber to press the 'REP' button, it's that funky looking scales at the end of each post.

If you shit a brick doing this, then just slide the board out and get the drunk from the Alocholiscs Anopmous to finish the job, and then see if you can get him to join here on DK and hare ALL of his software on his PC

Remember to save the 93c46 eeprom out of the old alarm, as you could always reprogramme it and sell it to an metro driver

i think hes in a good mood

Might be he is getting soft?

[scooby5555]

Meat-Head - Excellant will try that tomorow. Already tried removing the fuses hanging. I have disconnected one of the speaker wires in the alarm for now.

Thanks for the direction. much appreciated.

Well ok then bypass it t old fashoned way, starer cut at ignition switch
black/white and fuel pump cut at EFI relay, *THINK* behind glovebox, 'under' the side panel

*THINK* the alarm siren is as a 'compmentary pair' amp in it so that means, you can unsolder the first 2 resistors out the chip, then using a 1k resitor, solder the POSITIVE of one of them talking alarm clocks to the ground rail and the neg of speaker of talking alarm clock to ONE of the resistors, hi ho, instant 120DB alarm clock.


Do you guys think i'm daft or something!

Used to be (untill banned) on a local forum "MCMBG" (Meat City Modified Bags of Crap) forum and one day somebody asked for help on something (can't remember what), so posted the correct answer, whatever and could 275,000% prove what i said was correct, some cock-end
thought i was wrong, and they all then beleived him, so that's when i got a little nasty, and then got banned! That i hopefully NOT going to happen here, as it's such a good website.
