Car Alarms: Honda SV-4 factory alarm, honda forum, honda dealer
QuestionHonda SV-4 (year 95) factory alarm malfunction. The remote control intermittently function to on/off the alarm but majority of the time is not able to function.
I had change a new car battery 1 week ago and my remote control's LED (battery indicator) is ON. (in fact i had change it 3 months ago). Can you advise which area and how should i look into?
AnswerI would suggest purchasing a new remote control if it is acting inconsistently as you describe. You mention that this is a factory alarm system, however non of my databases list a factory alarm for the 95 Accord in any flavor. This leads me to believe that if the key fob says Honda on it it was a dealer installed security system. Any Honda dealer should be able to get you a replacement remote as well as be able to program the new remote. The dealers tend to be expensive so before going to one, I would recommend posting your question to a Honda forum. Forums are a great resource and its members are normally fanatics about the subject in question. Try posting your question to a site like http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/
