My alarm was going off randomly while the car was locked. Does anyone even want an alarm anyway? Disconnect the sensor that is setting the alarm off. Skip to 1:30 to see how and where to disconnect the hood sensor. Also skip to 2:25 for some basics about how the alarm works and a sign that you have a bad sensor.
This is on a 2004 Honda Pilot. This should be the same for the 2003-2008 Pilots, probably the Odyssey, maybe the Accord and other models as well.
Yuure a savior bro even in 2020 theste quarantined neighbors almost carried me away with torches and pitchforks
Thank you so much for this simple fix. Solved my exact problem... My neighbors are the folks who really want to thank you though :-)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahah. Right. Oh my god
Thanks a lot, my alarm was making my life miserable but thanks to you I can stop unplugging my battery at night . Thanks again
My 2003 Pilot's alarm no longer randomly sounds thanks to this.
Much appreciated!
I have had this problem for a few weeks now, I disconnected the hood latch sensor but the alarm still goes off. Any other possible solutions?
Hi my honda frv alarm keeps going off at midnight
This was exactly what I needed to know... I was having a random alarm and didn't know where to start. The "lights not flashing" symptom was what tipped me off. Thank you @CarsForNoobs !!!
It's 4:15 am, 2016 Pilot alarm is going off waking up the neighborhood. I thought it was a possible burglar. I lock again with key FOB. Car alarm goes off again! This time I go outside and notice the car is spazzing (noises from driver panel, lights on, alarm goes off again) when I lock the doors with key FOB. Drive around, same thing when I turn off the car. Found this video and saved the night as I believe it was the faulty hood latch sensor! THANK YOU for making this video, seems to have saved my night.
Thank you so much. I was having this exact issue with my Civic. Unplugged bonnet sensor and lights now flash when locking. Thanks!
Thank you! Very clear explanation that solved the exact same problem on my Honda CRV 2011 model.
I just had the door piped open because my key wouldn't unlock the door .It wouldn't even fit in the door .Well anyways now the horn and flashers will not go off .Even if the car is started .I have even try ed to disconnect the battery for a while ,and it's still on .How do I get it to turn off?
2006 Honda Pilot
Did you notice the dashboard lights flickering like sporadically after deactivating the alarm when it would happen?
Did not notice that
Worked perfect. Thanks for saving me a trip to the crooks at the dealer !
This started happening to me at 1am. Happened a few times & decided I needed to fix this ASAP. I disabled the alarm wuth the key & then disconnected the hood sensor and cleaned the male and female connector with electronics cleaner spray (same spray used to clean mass air flow sensors). Let it dry and put it back together. I also disconnected all 4 door sensors (the push button switch that gets triggered when u open & close a door). This pretty much solved the issue. I also sprayed all around the hood latch. Just Incase the trigger mechanism was dirty. My Ridgeline is a 2017.
**Update**
The alarm started going off again. It's def the hood latch sensor. I went and got a new hood sensor which is attached to the hood latch. It's about $60. Replaced it right after leaving the dealership. There's 3 bolts holding the hood latch & you'll have to disconnect a spring & the cable for the hood lever to swap out the hood latch. This solved the issue.
You saved me from disconnecting my battery just now .Alarm kept going off and getting on top of people's nerves .Thank you very much and chances are it probably would have killed my battery
my 03 accord still goes off after disconnecting the hood sensor
I have a 2016 Pilot and there was a recall on the hood latch. Ever since Honda fixed it, my car has been alarming when locked. I took it in to the dealership today to disconnect the sensor, and they said that wasn't possible. They want me to spend $300 on a new switch. Will this work on a 2016 and can a mechanical idiot woman like m do it? I'm set to travel from Louisiana to Canada andi can't have it alarming all night at hotels and I sure can't leave ot unlocked! Help!
Most likely there is still a connector to disconnect it and several have commented on it working on various newer hondas, I just don't know exactly where your connecter would be
@@CarsForNoobs Thank you for the reply. I appreciate it!
Can the wire just be cut, I too am having probs removing the connection. Can't get access withought removing cover. It would be so easy just to cut through wire
Why would the lights flash on and off on a honda pilet
Thanks but got me a toyota🤣
Thank you! This worked for my 2016 Honda Pilot!
Great to hear!
2011 CRV alarm went off at 4am this morning. Caught a few z's and here I am at 6am already understanding the issue thanks to some forum posts and your video. After unlocking the car to silence the alarm, the lights were not flashing when locking with fob. I checked the rear hatch first - no change. Then I opened the hood and let it slam shut, after which the lights blink upon locking. It's been a very humid week already and the remnants of Hurricane Florence just passed through here in PA. Still wondering if I should unplug or replace the switch to avoid this issue from happening again.
My neighbors and I thank you!
For me, its my trunk latch, on the cluster the trunk light is flickering on my 2009 pilot. I have been leaving it unlocked.. really need to disconnect the trunk sensor so I can lock my doors again🥲
Tengo el mismo problema
I wish the dealer and my local mechanic could’ve told me about the simple solution while I wait for a new latch detector. Switch to come in. There’s a long delay ordering a new part for this, so I’m just going to keep it unplugged/disengaged like this, thank you very much.
Can anyone tell me where the sensor is on a 2001 accord coupe? Same issue but I cannot seem to find the hood sensor plug.
I just disconnected the car's battery to keep it from draining and keep the alarm from going off and then replaced the key fob battery (2032) and reconnected the car battery and pressed the unlock on the key fob and it stopped completely the fob was just dead so I was just kinda stuck but hopefully this might help someone else
Thank you you just helped me solve my problem right now with my Honda HRV 2019😮💨😮💨😭😭
If the passenger key won’t lock the door you need to replace the door switch part number 72182-s9v-a01 and 72185-s9v-a21
Hey I need some help because I have a Honda Prelude and the last time I driven was a couple days ago. I was about to head to work but the alarm goes off when i opened the door even though I did press the unlock button on the key fob but the alarm still went off.
My Honda Element does this too. Killed the horn and battery already. I don't know how to disable it.
my doors wont look with the remote.i just got a new batery.and also the alarm goes off when i enter key .please help!!
Did you ever figure out the issue? My ridgeline is doing some funky crap. And I cannot figure it out.
2005 accord....cold weather sets it off......did trunk and hood......now will just keep lookin...did put aftermarket radio
This fixed my 2003 Pilot's alarm perfectly! Thanks for sharing this information. It saved me hours of debugging and/or hundreds of dollars for a dealer to correct.
I changed my Honda Pilot radio to an after market radio and 4 days later my alarm keeps going off now what can I do
My key doesn't have a fob so what do I do? It's just a special cut black key
Thank you!
This also works on a 2013 Pilot… thanks for the tip… I was nervous to disconnect it but it worked like a charm… my alarm actually works better now lol … I went crazy constantly disconnecting the battery every day … I even got stuck at the train station because of the alarm killed my battery… so do it ! it works ! 👍
This is a HONDA Question? a used 2004 (HONDA PILOT). automatic, 6 cylinders, 4WD, rebuilt engine, 106K miles Tell me what mechanical problems (if any) are they known for?
automatic transmission can fail, although mine was fine through 165k. other than that minor issues I had which weren't uncommon, rear power window regulator failed, power steering line rusted
Good try
Is there a way to just disable the alarm because my remote doesn't work and it's not the battery.But my alarm will go off and I can't turn it off.
I have heard that you can just pull the alarm fuse out of the fuse box that is under the hood on the driver's side.
Hello, when I close the car the turning lights do not flash but the alarm is active, why? It's a honda civic 2013
We added an aftermarket horn which caused the alarm to go off but this had been on the car for 2 years?
Damn, I guess mine is the tailgate sensors because I already disconnected the sensor under the hood but it still goes on randomly, and dashboard also shows information that tailgate is not closed even it is closed, so I guess I will need find someone to fix it.
Make sure you fully closed the tailgate. On my pilot, the latch on the hatch was loose, so if you didnt close it hard, the light on the dash for open hatch would be on
mine is 2006 but got same problem right now, do you think i can fix following as you explain?
thanks man... my alarm went off at 5 in the morning and its sunday.. lolzz I saw your video and disconnect the sensor on the hood on my acura MDX. thank god I was outside fixing the problem because the cops show up.. I think some of my neighbors where hangover and call the cops. but it looks like the problem is solve.
It is not a fix you disconnect alarm only
I cut the wires because I could not get to the sensor on my 2000 accord, and now the car wont start, any ideas?.
thanks
disconnect the battery connect the wire that you cut back and take off the horn fuse or cut the horn wire one side out I did that to mine so even it go off won't make noi and we still able to start the car just wait a bit when alarm stop acting.
How do you disable the door alarm?
Thanks. This just helped me 👍🏾
Thanks!! Our 06 Pilot was doing some weird alarm stuff and disconnecting the hood sensor fixed it.
First thing I tried and it worked. Thanks
+knutzzz Glad it helped. Thanks!
Can you shine that light enough car parts a little bit more? Some of it is still visible and not washed out
sorry, I improved the lighting in my new videos
That’s for the fan.
Just disconnected my alarm on my 2002 Honda Accord. Please work! I know my neighbors hate me.
+Angela Jennings I hope it works for you!
+CarsForNoobs It didn't! I just tried another method. I just wanna go to sleep. I don't know what the problem is.
+Angela Jennings Sorry to hear that. you could have another sensor (such as those in the doors) that has gone bad, but those are more difficult to get to. As a temporary (but not practical long term) solution you could just leave the car unlocked or disconnect the battery.
+ra64t I'm just going to have to go see a mechanic. Even UNLOCKED it's going off. I don't know how this is happening.
+Angela Jennings That is weird! If you figure out and have a chance let us know what the problem was. Might help someone else.
My neighbours would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you!
Simplest solution! Ty so much! Fingers crossed!!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Can this affect your car negatively in any way?
Did not work
Which color wires are they for the door censor?
do you just leave the wire loose after you disconnect it or do you connect it back before driving off?
you have to leave it disconnected to disable the sensor, disconnecting and reconnecting has very little chance of doing anything.
So I just tried this and I think it fixed my problem, thank you so much for posting this video! I’m (unfortunately) pretty ignorant when it comes to cars, so when my alarm started randomly going off last night I had no idea what the issue could be. Thank god I stumbled across this
Worked like a charm! Thank You
Ok, this has been happening on my 2017 Ridgeline too. Weird thing is, it's not an everyday thing but only seems to happen when there's big swings of outside temperature. A few days ago, I sprayed the crap outta the hood latch with a silicone based lubricant thinking that the switch that closes this sensor might be sticking. That fixed it for a few days but it went off again this morning. Tomorrow I'll try to disconnect it and see what happens.
Did you figure out what caused the issue? I have a 2017 Ridgeline too and same thing happened just last night for the first time Disconnecting the hood latch sensor allows you to lock the vehicle but the alarm does not arm. If this is a switch/ sensor issue I'm guessing its either the hood sensor since its the only one exposed to hot and cold or the driver door sensor since it gets the most wear. One of them is likely loosing contact at night. I would appreciate it if you could let me know what solved the issue. Just disconnecting the hood sensor isnt really a solution. Thanks.
I have a 2017 CRV with the same problem. I'm gonna try detaching the sensor but also wanted to know if the problem with the 2017 Ridgeline was solved with this fix.
@@saqibrajput2156 No, it didn't. I went as far as replacing the entire hood latch thinking that would fix it. In the end, I took it to the dealer and they replaced the Keyless Access Control Unit. I posted a video of this on my channel, watch it because the problems actually got worse after a while. Once this unit was replaced though, I never had any issues or honking ever again.
@@map7463 Sorry, I must've missed your reply before. See my reply to Saqib
@@IamGroot786 Thank you so much I'll look into the Keyless Access Control Unit. I took my CRV to the dealer and they were not that helpful.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
This sensor is not as easy to find on my 2006 accord. Anything you can offer that would help me find it?
Here's a pic of a 2004 Honda Accord, most likey it will be around the same ,

God Bless You.
Thank you!
i just had this problem with alarm going off on 04 pilot, but found a better solution at least until i can troubleshoot it. start the engine after alarm going off you can look at the icon that shows which door is open. my faulty sensor is the rear hatch, so can't easily disconnect that in freezing cold @ 2 am. my key does not work in the manual door lock on the driver side (other problem with vehicle i knew about but decided it wasn't worth fixing since i have a good working keyless entry system) so i went to the passenger side door from the outside, and clicked the lock/unlock button to lock all the doors, and then closed the door, checked the alarm led on the drivers door and it was NOT blinking. so the car is locked WITHOUT the alarm on. better fix for now until i can troubleshoot the rear sensor. first day of snow in michigan this season, so very suspicious of a humidity issue.
thanks for the tip!
Come on man! Just disconnect your alarm from the battery, you don’t have to go crazy all the way around like you’re saying
If you just disconnect the bad sensor the rest of the alarm and sansors are still working
this just happened to me last night, I'm trying to disconnect the sensor but it won't budge!!
+Ly Pham this one was really easy for me but I've had other plastic connectors that were very difficult to disconnect. Make sure you've pressed the tab in, then try working both ends side to side a little while pulling.
Excellent advice, thanks for posting something accurate with a practical solution.
thanks, hope it helped!
can you do the stupid video in the daytime where we can see not see light reflection
I make my stupid videos however I want whenever I want. I posted this video to help others any many expressed their gratitude, im sorry if it didn't help you, you can find another video 9r make your own!
Is this in a similar spot for a 2008 pilot?
most likely, 2003-2008 is the same generation
