The anti-theft alarm keeps going off when I try to open the car door to get in the car. And I dont know how to turn it off. It will go off on it on when it is finish making the alarm noise, I dont have a regular alarm either except the anti-theft.

Hi pamhightower,

Try using the key to unlock and open the passenger door and if alarm is not trigggered, it means the driver side door lock switch is faulty not allowing the alarm to be disarmed when you use the key to unlock and open the door.

Someone tried to steal my car. I replace. Mobilizer and the computer and had it coded and tried to crank it just like I was instructed. It still wont crank. What could the problem be and what else could I try?

Try resetting security system if it does not work a mechanic will have to hook up his scanner to see what is wrong, might not be programmed to your car. see link.

When I use my keyless entry remote to lock the doors, all of the doors lock except the driver's side and the back right passenger door. What is the cause of this problem?

Do the power locks work on those doors? If not, the fault is the lock actuator or the wiring going to the actuator.

I have a 99 Honda Accord with 82000 miles the problem is the alarm just keep going on and off at first we taught that maybe a cat or dog hit it then after about 5 minutes the alarm went on again and contunuie to do so every 5 minutes. All the windows, doors, hood and trunk are all closed so when I went to the dealer they told me that the Hoodswitch needed to be replace and would cost me $406 plus tax and my warranty would not cover it so I told them to just leave it I dont have to money to pay for it so what I did was remove the fuse for the Horn since the horn and the Alarm had the same fuse and now I dont have a horn. My question is what is a hoodswitch? Can I just get is at some local auto shop and have my mechanic put it I dont want to pay dealer price? If so where can I find this hoodswitch?

Hi Kee,

I guess the switch would not cause more than 10 bucks.

Btw removing the fuse is not a good way of stopping the problem. The alarm would still be triggered without the horns sounding. Disconnecting the hood switch wire would be a better option.

I would check for proper adjustment rather than a faulty switch. A faulty switch should not trigger but a badly adjusted switch would.

Ok is there a way I can obtain a diagram as to where the switch would be located at? So I can fix the problem as soon as possible like you said taking the fuse out is not the solution. Wow thanks for mentioning that is would only cost me $10, I cant understand why the dealer would so much over price me for such a thing.

Hi Kee,

Sorry I have not been able to locate any diagrams to show you.

Open the front hood and look for a plunger type switch along the edges of the engine compartment.
