#39 of 69 Alarm sounds whenever it feels like it by iharding Mar 10, 2008 (8:19 am)
I have a really annoying problem with my 2002 Odyssey. It has been doing this on and off for over a year - the alarm just goes off whenever it feels like it. At first it was so rare that it wasn't a major problem, but now it's every time I leave the car! And I'm not even setting the alarm any more - but still it goes off. And if I'm not close by I come back to a flat battery too (the horn sounding and the lights flashing drain it pretty fast).     Last night I took out the fuse for the automatic door locks, thinking that if the doors couldn't lock themselves then the alarm wouldn't set itself - that worked - but it meant that the car was unlocked all night.     The price that Honda quoted me to 'try to find' the fault was ridiculous.     I bought my '02 Odyssey new in 2001 with the intention of keeping it for ten years. This problem is only one of many that I've had with this truly awful car. I will be getting rid of it sometime this year and I will never buy another Honda.     If anyone has any ideas about how I can disable the alarm but still be able to lock the car I would be very grateful (as would my neighbors).

Replying to: iharding (Mar 10, 2008 8:19 am) try getting your battery chkd and make sure you have good connections. a low battery will cause your alarm to go off. have seen this before.
#41 of 69 AC Turning on WIth Heater by ss777 Mar 31, 2008 (9:44 am)
In my 2007 EXL, the AC compressor turns on when I turn the heater on eiter in auto or manual mode. The heater mode is floor or vent and NOT defroster. I realize it is normal for the AC to turn on with the defroster but this shouldn't be the case in defrost mode, at least according the manual.   Has anyone else experience this and is it normal?

Replying to: iharding (Mar 10, 2008 8:19 am) I'm with you on never buying another Honda. I bought my 2002 Odyssey in January 2003, so I bought it used with 26,000 miles on it. At 43,000 miles had the transmission replaced. Free of charge, dealer did it. I did not buy an extended warrany because I thought it was Honda. After transmission went I did buy an extended warranty. Way too many problems with the Odysseys from reading others reviews.
#43 of 69 getting a wire from the battery to the inside by skern Apr 22, 2008 (5:26 am)
I cannot find a spot to pass 2 wires from the battery to the passenger side inside(dc-ac converter). Seems there are no knockouts like the 2004 had Has anyone found a way to do this without drilling a hole
#44 of 69 Odyssey battery power switch question by depireux Apr 22, 2008 (1:56 pm)
My wife or I often leave the interior lights on after parking, in our '04 Odyssey, only to find the battery dead a few hours later when we return. Is there an aftermarket system that somehow would turn the power from the battery off if it goes below a certain level (that could be manually reset once the offending power drain is found)?   Obviously, we should turn the lights off, but you get to the parking, turn the lights on to look for something that slipped under the seat (anybody with 3 kids knows what I am talking about), collect all your junk and before you know it, you have totally forgotten about the lights.

#46 of 69 Electrical: Driver's seat recliner by cgs878 Apr 30, 2008 (8:53 am)
Hello CarSpace forums people,   On my 2001 Honda Odyssey EX, the driver's seat electric recliner does not work properly. Once reclined (towards the back seat passenger), the seat back raises up slowly and then stops. I must wait a while (a few minutes to a few hours) to get it to raise up some more. Getting it back to vertical can require extra force from behind. It is as if the power seat battery inside the seat is dead. Does this seat have a battery? Can this be possible for it to die? If so, can this be fixed/replaced easily by a lay-person (non-shop techie)? Please let me know. Thanks!   - Chris S.
#47 of 69 Electrical Shorts? by jangard Jun 07, 2008 (2:23 pm)
I have an '04 Odyssey with what I believe is a series of electrical shorts. I haven't had it diagnosed yet, as the warranty is up and I know electrical problems cost a fortune!   It is strange how it moves about. Sometimes the interior lights won't come on, then sometimes they will flicker when one of the side doors is being opened. I have had the driver power window work when the engine is off and the keys are not in the ignition, and I've been able to pull the key from the ignition when the car is running!! There are several other instances, but this gives you a rough idea. Any ideas on what it could be?   Also, the ignition has recently started to reject the keys! I mean, you can put them in, but you can't move them. Then you turn the key around and it works fine! Any ideas on that one??
