FIX Honda Odyssey alarm going off for no reason

****FOR HONDA ODYSSEY 2007. I'm not a mechanic!***
Thank you very much to this other user who identified the problem and showed what to do: • FIX Honda Odyssey alar...
My switch looked slightly different, so I'm posting to help Odyssey 2007 owners.
Watch this video if your alarm goes off for no reason and you've tried everything.
If your alarm is going off RIGHT NOW:
1) Stop it by UNLOCKING your doors with your remote (double click)
2) Leave the doors unlocked AND open a door (OPEN--leave it ajar) to disengage the alarm system
2) Pop open the HOOD and unhook the latch; (pop open the hood if you have it inside your garage or don't care). Go back to sleep.
3) Then, disconnect the latch alarm system - shown in this video the next morning.
I'll check with my trustworthy mechanic if I need to replace it. I think this is a latch-specific alarm that goes off if someone were to try to pry open your hood (?).

You know, using the flashlight on your phone would really help. I still gave u thumbs up though. I did this with my 2007 & it still did not work. Then I removed the #13, 20amp fuse and it turned of the horn but not the alarm . The problem olis the the #13 fuse also is what allows you to take the car out of park.

BIG Thanks! 2010 Honda Odyssey looked the same. Your video gave me the confirmation I needed to disconnect this in May 2020. It went off at 2am last night.

[@jensimon3006]

OMG! Stupid alarm going off twice in the middle of the night. It's Saturday so didn't think we could take it in until Monday. I was NOT going to go through that again and our neighbors would kill us. So happy I found this video since the others were referring to a 2002 and ours is a 2006 which has a slightly different setup. Thank you!

[@dltran3162]

Believe it or not, it’s still happening on later models. i have a 2017. I took it to the Honda dealership specifically for this issue a month ago. And apparently they never fixed it, although they told me they addressed my concerns.

[@2Jeezuzisreal]

So you're saying that this will disconnect your alarm completely

[@mrtrillionfold]

Put some light on the video. Can't see anything.

[@steve-okeefe]

Thanks for sharing this service trick, I really appreciate it!

[@IoveYAHUAH]

Thank you for the video!!! You're right it takes alot of effort to disconnect.

[@msnathusa]

Thank you very much. In my case (2008 Odyssey), the latch was sending wrong signal to the computer and drains the battery over night. This trick was very helpful and saved me some money. Thanks again.

[@chmgeg1025]

Thank you for the video!!!! Very helpful

[@franklyscar7959]

Thanks! That was easy

[@angelsaldana4821]

I already did this and it still goes off

[@Maria-gt8es]

EXACTLY AND I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY

[@DevineCreations333]

Didnt work

[@matthewmariamaeveritt7715]

thanks. worked like a charm on my 2004 ex.

[@larrylarryblackk9044]

I did that and my alarm is still is going off

[@jejeroy]

verify if your light flash when you lock the door if you disconnected it and its the light wont flash when you lock the door its mean that its probably another sensor there is one sensor on every door and roof hatch and like on this video under the hood

[@placeholdera5512]

We have found that to temporarily disable the alarm horn is to insert the key into the driver outside door lock and lock unlock there (may have to do without opening door, don't remember). Also, if lose turn indicators and power door locks look for Honda service bulletin 08-078. Apparently, when moisture gets into come connectors the whole system goes nuts. This fix involves removing inside panel of rear driver side door to find a connector. Disclaimer: I "solved" our alarm problem last winter now additional problems are visiting.

[@jasoncharles8651]

I just removed the fuze, it stops the cruse control as well, but I'm fine with that. This planned obsolescence was found by the Japanese, took um a while, but now, everything is shit, if you don't have issues, you really are just lucky.

[@sallybeckwith7572]

Was that really all I needed to do? That was easy!

[@paulalvinflemming5018]

so when You this the alarm will not sount anymore? when other car doors are being opened? please inform

[@BerettaM9A4-64]

Thanks works for me, I don’t know what the people saying it didn’t work for them or causing other problems.......

[@davidbryant5875]

Thank you! Mine just went off for no reason waking up my neighbors will un hook it tomorrow.

[@TheRedneckJarhead34429]

You are awesome.... My alarm was going crazy and wouldnt stop. Our vacation home minivan was pissing off all our neighbors we only see 3x year. Now we're alarm free in 30 seconds and are no longer the neighborhood outcasts. May good Karma be with you and thanks for making that video.

[@richmusumeci7219]

The alarm stops going off, but the lights still flash. What do you do about that?

[@JefPorkins]

Man, 4 am is totally when this started for me. Crazy good call there. Thanks for the video!

[@bikes7777]

Next time use a flashlight. You're in the dark.

[@carlosc281]

It worked. Thing was driving me crazy

[@uphill248]

This didn’t work for me. is there a fuse I can take out?

[@quicktrips]

I have an 05 Odyssey I unplug this latch and nothing fixes the alarm still goes off

[@Verily_Seville]

me too. my 2005 odyssey still goes off even though I disconnected that. anyone have help ?

[@davemessenger3610]

2009 Honda Odyssey - this did not fix my problem and the alarm still goes off! Can't find out how to totally disable the alarm!

[@kiallhill1288]

One of the door switches is probably going bad that’s what’s causing it

[@stelladebiaggi]

Thank you!! Exactly what I needed!

[@edison3397]

Ok, good night 😴 😂

[@mrtrillionfold]

I did find the wire though. Thank you.

[@debtfreejunkie1548]

That is not a 2007

[@purpure1]

gracias por tu ayuda, fue muy facil !!

[@Ricklustt]

Thanx...I’ll look at it tomorrow. I just disconnected my negative battery able for now

[@gladysjohnson5555]

Yeah I disconnected my negative disconnected the switch what are the connector and when I put the negative back on a post the alarm still going off what do I do

[@Cars4theLo48]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@brittanylewis5565]

I did this and now all the electric windows except the drivers side don't work, and the alarm still goes off. Is there another thing to disconnect?

[@BerettaM9A4-64]

Brittany Lewis that switch is an open switch, it’s closed when the latch is depressed .that switch has nothing to do with anything else like the windows not working, you have something else wrong...

[@theusualchaos6175]

@@BerettaM9A4-64 I think something simultaneously went wrong. This definitely didn't stop the honking though.

[@MrAri1969md]

thank you, back to zzzzzzzz

[@mcctaft]

Worked for 2009 odyssey, didn’t even need a screwdriver. Thank you!

[@richmusumeci7219]

Having the same issue with my 2009 right now. The alarm doesn’t go off, but the lights still flash so the battery is still going to be drained. Are you having that problem?

[@RalphAndChris]

I have a 2009 and i can't find the cable Any tips on how to find it
