i was trying to jumpstart my girlfriends car but everytime i hookup the jumper cables to her battery the alarm starts going off, and the remote wont turn it off. it is the factory alarm and my question was..is there some way that i can disarm the alarm so that it wont go off everytime i try to jumpstart it? it is a 99 honda civic. thanks for any info

 

if the remote wont turn it off i heard once that you have to start it within a few seconds...it worked in a jeep so try it you have nothing to lose

 

Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the run position. (so the lights are on on the dash) This should shut the alarm off.

 

Um put the key in.. if that story isnt fishy I dont know what is..

 

With the way Honda set up the alarm, if the alarm is going off and the battery is disconnected in an attempt to shut the alarm off, it will trigger the alarm to go off again once the battery is reconnected. This maybe why the alarm is going off when he connects a battery to try and jumpstart it.

If the battery was dissconnected/dead for an extended period of time, it may have reset the alarm to the point that it may not recognize the code from the key fob transmitter. This could by why the remote does not turn the alarm off.

Thus, the only way to disarm the alarm is to put the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position.
Catch my drift?

 

Yeah, that makes sense. Sorry, I guess I didnt read all his post, I thought it was another "how can I disable the alarm because im innocent and not a thief" thread.
