![]() I turn off the alarm and open the doors one at a time and play with the door switches, and see if they turn the lights off normally. SO I am thinking in my head there is a short in one of the door switches!!! Since my hood and hatch switches are already disconnected. Then after a random amount of time (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes more) the interior lights would turn on itself and the alarm goes off!!!!! AH HA!!!! what the hell is causing the lights to go on? no one is opening the door, the locks are not unlocking, no one is pressing on a keyfob. All the interior lights go out after whatever time frame Honda set it to turn off automatically. ![]() So I close the driver door, arm the system. Let me see what the interior lights do when I turn the master switch on. so even if they play with the overhead lights they are never on. So I keep the master switch for the interior lights always off. I have a few young kids and they always play with the over head lights. So sitting in the car again I though, hmmm the alarm is probably triggered by something that would indicate a door, hatch, hood was open. They all looked fine, rubber boots intact, springs strong and smooth actions. I though about the 4 door switches for the lights, and went around pressing and making sure there were no hangups or out of sorts on them. So I sat in my car, quite as can be, armed the system and waited a few minutes passed and the alarm would go off, no noise, no click, nothing to note that might cause the thing to spontaneously go off. ![]() So back to square one, went down to the local pep boys type place and had them load test my battery, everything was fine, battery good, AMP good, they even took the cables off the terminal and cleaned them with a terminal brush tool. I thought that would fix it, but it did not. Now my rear hatch lights only work via the manual switch and the "idiot" light on the dash will not show that the rear hatch is open. BTW that micro switch was not held in place with much, other than two plastic plugs and they both broke off so I twisted the switch out. Also another wire connector more towards the bottom closer to the "latch hook" I disconnected that one and the rear interior light now is off, and the idiot light for the rear hatch is off on the dash. I took the little panel over the latch mechanism off (small 5x5 square plastic, bottom center of rear panel) looked at the whole latch could see two sets of wires and connectors at left and right top area. Searched around again and some people had said that the rear hatch also has a micro-switch that was made flimsy and I disconnected that also. Checked the hood switch to make sure no one reconnected and was still disconnected. Lasted till today, alarm started to go off randomly again. Searched and found that the hood latch micro-switch was a major problem. I am also just dealing with this issue with my 07 Ody.Ībout a year ago, the alarm would go off, randomly.
