    Hi all,
    I had some extensive work done on my 2007 Accord EXL a couple of weeks ago,
    wheel, strut, rotor, tire replaced. The battery must have been disconnected
    beause I had to reset the code on the radio. The radio is working fine,
    however the remote transmitter keys will open and lock the door but the
    panic button does not function. Also, the headlights do not go on when
    pressing the unlock button and the horn does not beep when pressing lock
    button.

    Any ideas how to correct this problem?

    Thanks

  2. Those repairs have nothing to do with the electrical system and there'd be
    no reason to disconnect the battery. You might want to check with the
    mechanic who did the work and ask him if he did. Something else may well be
    going on.

    Tony,
    Experincing the same with both remotes.
    I do know that part of the repair was replacing a defective wheel bearing
    which was causing a problem with the ABS system. I know they connected to
    car computer looking for ABS problem.
    I am sure the battery was disconnected due to the fact that I had to enter
    radio code.
    I will contact the mechanic.

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I do know some remote needs reprogramming if either car battery or
    remote battery was disturbed. May have to check with your Honda dealer.

    I'm experiencing pretty much the same problem. My guess is that the system
    thinks that one of the doors (or hood, trunk) is still open. Most likely
    there is an open in the wiring from one of these areas. The alarm system
    also does not arm which kind of solidifies my thinking.

    Often, the features on the key fob can be enabled or disabled. Go back
    to the mechanic and have them enable the panic feature.
