Honda remote unlock button doesn't work
I'm posting here because, as yet, my post on this in the Honda group
hasn't generated any response. The aftermarket remote lock/unlock fobs - new batteries in both six months ago - stopped working for my 2000 Odyssey LX. I did a little digging and found http://www.handa-accessories.com/crv/KEYLESSPROG.pdf which describes how to get the remote lock receiver in 2000 Odysseys and other Hondas to recognize the remotes. By following it, I at least got the van to recognize the remotes - but only the LOCK button. Repeated presses of that button toggle the locks up and down (i.e., alternately lock and unlock the doors), but the unlock button does nothing. This is the case with both of the fobs I have. So my question is how do I get the remotes working as they should: - LOCK button locks the doors every time it's pressed - UNLOCK botton unlocks the doors every time it's pressed - neither button performs its opposite intended function |

If it worked before and it doesn't work now, it's quite possible the
contacts on the remote is dirty and needs cleaning. Take it apart and clean the underside of the buttons and their contact points with alcohol. david 2000OdysseyLX wrote: > I'm posting here because, as yet, my post on this in the Honda group > hasn't generated any response. > > The aftermarket remote lock/unlock fobs - new batteries in both six > months ago - stopped working for my 2000 Odyssey LX. > > I did a little digging and found > http://www.handa-accessories.com/crv/KEYLESSPROG.pdf which describes how > to get the remote lock receiver in 2000 Odysseys and other Hondas to > recognize the remotes.

My concern though is that BOTH remotes worked fine, then BOTH stopped working, and now BOTH have a nonfunctioning unlock button and a lock button that toggles the locks up and down. Were the problem just with one, I would say that it was the unit, its contacts, its battery, whatever. But the problem is consistent across units. |

I have had to do this on my unit. All you have to do is follow the instruction book or the little manual that came with the car. If it isn't in there, call any honda dealer and they will help you to reprogram it. Good Luck, Fwed |
