Thanks, this was the best video on this topic! My alarm would go off randomly and got worse the past few days where it would go off a few times an hour in the night (I think the temperature dropping it affected it). I've read elsewhere it might be a door/hood/trunk latch, but this is the ONLY video that showed how to do it, and how to just disable the alarm if you don't want to bother with it... and that's what I did! My car is a 2007 Acura CSX, so if anyone wants it- they can have it! The dealership wanted $150+tax just for the privelege to look at, no quote on the actual fix. I pulled out the cable under the hood and cancelled the appointment. Thanks for your help!

@RBTheMechanic Жыл бұрын

@Loknology Жыл бұрын
@@RBTheMechanic Thanks for your response. After spending many hours with the car. I found the culprit to the problem of my tailgate open warning light staying on when tailgate is securely closed. The latch is fine. The problem is in the rear fuse/Auxiliary box on the left side if looking at the back side of the tailgate. You will see some regular mini fuses and below it you will see two slot connections. I noticed mine was wet like water has leaked into it. Very important, when I unplug the top slot socket, the turning signal,SH-AWD,center console instrument lights, Shift lights, unlock and lock button, rear latch, dashboard warnings, all key fob functions, and possibly others will not work. So, When I vacuum out all the water and dried it out, I looked at the bottom of the socket plug and saw there have been some short-circuiting residue. There was a pin broken from the slot that was shorting out other pins and I'm thinking that's my signal to the tailgate open warning light and it was flickering due to the water. So my car alarm was coming on and off because of that whole moisture problem and the broken pin. I don't know what that broken pin connects to but when I plugged the socket back in the slot, everything worked perfectly. No intermittent alarm waking up the neighbors. Anyway, already wrote a book. Thanks again to even care to respond to my question. I hope this helps others as I saw online MDX threads that had the same problem and they didn't know what to do. Bro.... I Subscribed!

This recently started happening to my 2018 RDX. Out of the blue, no rhyme or reason. I turned off the lock when walk away features and slapped in my Bluedriver scan tool. It generated 3 minor communication trouble codes. Rear latch, memory seating and power windows. I went ahead and cleared the codes leaving it to sit over night unlocked. The day prior before running scan tool it wouldn’t honk or light up upon key fob locking but would light up if I were unlocking. The next day I clicked lock and proceeded to hold down the auto-start. The lights came on when I selected lock! It now is working like normal and has been over a week since issue happened. Knock on wood. All my doors hood rear latch were locking and working properly. Might help some others out there who face this issue. Good luck everyone.

Got the same issue last winter. My 2012 Acura TL' s alarm goes off many times a day. Went to the Acura dealership, they replaced a switch on rear passenger's door, $200, but it didn't help at all. Went to the Honda dealership this time, they suggested to disable the connections between that door and computer (I don't know how they did it, but it cost $470 and 2 weeks). Then everything goes well. Last week, I found that the alarm can be triggered by trunk :( Sometimes when I open the trunk by the key, alarm goes off, and the light in the trunk keep flashing. Feel so bad:(

I have a 2007 Honda Accord with the same random alarm issue. Disconnecting the hood latch sensor did not work for me. As mentioned by RB in the comments I have also tried turning the door key back and forth multiple times with no luck. If anyone else has an idea please reply here.

Oh well each door has sensor try disabling each one at a time even trunk so tilll u figure it out which one effected it then replace that one this problem is hard to find since there’s no codes for it

I had a car alarm installed on my Honda Accord about 3 years ago. But now, it keeps going at least once a week for no apparent reason. When I took my vehicle back to the shop for inspection, the installer couldn't figure out the root cause or fix the problem. What a jackass! The alarm brand name is called Sky Tech, which is a piece of shit.
