The 2003 accord LX works this way too, so it's normal or at least designed that way. So if you unlock it from inside the house and then go outside to get something out of the car, it locks itself just as you are arriving at it. Normal operation of the remote is press unlock once for the driver's door, a second press of the unlock gets all the doors, and a third press held down for a few seconds lowers all the windows. Maybe something was pressing on the buttons while the key was in someone's pocket or purse? -- Steve Driska |
