Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2006False alarm in the early morning
Hi, This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda Accord EX. It was parked outside my appartment. Not sure what happened exactly. I used my remote to unlock the door and shut off the alarm. Now it looks normal. This is the first time it happened. Anybody has similiar experience? What are general causes? Thanks for attention. > Hi, > This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > similiar experience? What are general causes? > Thanks for attention. Aftermarket alarm? 1) Poor installation 2) Corrosion on contacts 3) Moisture 4) Motion sensitivity set too high 5) Crook shoved car or thumped window then ran away to hide and watch to see if anyone actually responded to the alarm.

In my case, a weak battery was the cause of alarm problems. > Hi, > This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > similiar experience?

Interior light is the test. 'Curly' > Hi, > This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > similiar experience?

How do you know it was a false, and not someone trying to break in? > > Hi, > > This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > How do you know it was a false, and not someone trying to break in? Well, it happens again at my company's parking lot. It is on and off several times this morning and I had to leave the door unlocked. Going to take to dealer tomorrow and see what is the problem. Just check it going to cost 90 bucks. >>>Hi, >>> This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > to take to dealer tomorrow and see what is the problem. Just check it > going to cost 90 bucks. Factory system, I assume? First thing to check would probably be the hood and/or trunk pins, if so equipped, and make sure the hood and trunk are both closing properly. On our Dodge minivan, if you accidentally pop the hood (the hood release is where you'd expect the e-brake release to be...), it doesn't LOOK popped, but it's got enough play that a gust of wind can lift it enough to trigger the hood pin. Next I'd check the door pins, make sure they're mounted solidly, and that the doors are closing fully (driver's door sags on my old '87 Accord and it has to be closed REALLY GOOD, or it will LOOK closed, but be still be open enough for the pin switch to make contact). Thanks Matt, One naive question, where is the door pin? My driver-door was damaged two years ago and replaced by bodyshop. Maybe this is the source of the problem. The dealer was unable to locate the problem since the alarm didn't sound at that time. > >>>Hi, > >>> This morning I was woked up by a false alarm from my 2000 Honda [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > it will LOOK closed, but be still be open enough for the pin switch to > make contact). > Thanks Matt, One naive question, where is the door pin?

Sounds like that could well be it... you'll find a poor but relatively accurate picture of its location here: http://www.moltenimage.com/freebies/g3accord/body_electrical/25-6.JPG (That's from the '86-'89 manual, but the switch type location should be pretty much the same on almost every Honda ever made :) |
