Can't get another key for my Accord (Part two)!
Sorry to be posting this again but I'm still stuck and hope that a fresh
pair of eyes might spot this and be able to help. I've added the latest developments at the bottom. Having bought a second-hand Accord Executive (UK, 2001 automatic 2ltr) > we thought it prudent to order a new key from our local Honda > dealership, as there was only one key supplied with the car. The key > was obtained from Honda UK and programmed by the dealership, however, > it refused to start the engine. Honda UK was consulted and they > suggested that the engine control module was faulty, and the > dealership swapped in another ECM but the problem persisted. The > Dealer then obtained another key from Honda, but this one also refuses > to work. The Dealer now says they cannot afford to investigate further > and have (reluctantly) returned the £40+ that I had paid for the > "blank" key. We are now back to square one, and worried as to what we > could do if our only key failed or was lost. Grateful for any > observations. Wayne. Since I posted the original plea, a couple of things have happened , though. nothing that helps. I obtained a second original key from the previous owner. The fob works fine, but that key also won't start the engine. I returned the car to the Honda dealership it came from, (a 240 mile round trip), they tried to program the key but also failed. They couldn't offer much other help. I contacted Honda Customer Services who could offer no help at all!, apart from telling me to go back to the dealer. Isn't technology wonderful....... |
