My car won't unlock w/ the key remote?

I've a 2000 Honda Civic. Today, the unlock remote wouldn't unlock the car. However, when I press the remote, the little light on the remote still blinks red. So does that mean it's my CAR that's the prob?

Added (1). *r u guy saying replace battery in the remote, or in my car?

Prob needs a new battery

It COULD mean that neither the car OR the remote has a problem, but the vehicle needs reprogrammed to accept the remote you are using.

I'm with Happy gramps. Put a new battery in and go from there.

Put a new battery in the remote. Check the charge on the car's battery.

It could be the battery in the remote, which has enough power left at the moment to light the little led but not enough to signal to the car. First thing to do is replace the remote battery and see if that solves the problem.

Hi yes it is now well passed it's scrap date after 17 years of use and abuse that was 9 years ago.

  • Will ANY honda replacement remote key be programed for my Odyssey 2003? I have an extra remote key I bought from Kijiji for my Honda Odyssey 2003. Problem is I don't know what model that extra remote it for. It does though look just like my original Odyssey remote. Will it program with my Odyssey or should I throw it out and buy a new extra remote?
  • Spare key doesn't work to unlock door electronically? I'm new to cars and my mom allowed me to borrow hers for the next two months while she's out of town. The thing is, she gave me her spare key, and the alarm won't work. The physical key unlocks the car, but I can't unlock/ lock it remotely. Any advice? The model is a Honda CRV

  • My car won't unlock w/ the key remote? - 1 I've a 2000 Honda Civic. Today, the unlock remote wouldn't unlock the car. I replaced the battery in the remote today and it still won't unlock the car. What do I do next, and how would I go about doing it? For example, how can I move my car to a mechanic or dealership if I can't get into it? Tow? Thanks *And how do I get inside the car w/o setting off the alarm? Or is the alarm off now, since the car may be out of sync w/ the remote?
