Fix for Honda Odyssey Alarm Going Off For No Reason

This happened on my 2008 honda civic just now.Every 10 minutes.This video is a life saver. Thank you. Thank you.

10 years later, still helping somebody. Thanks

Oh my gosh....just did this about two hours ago and my 2004 Odyssey is being very quiet and not waking up the neighbors! Hallelujah! Now I can run errands and lock the van again. Huge victory!!! Thank you so much for the video!

GREAT VIDEO!! You saved my butt at 1:30AM when my Odyssey's alarm decided to go off in the hotel parking lot. I spent over 30 minutes trying to clear the problem by resetting the alarm, opening/closing all the doors & hood, and driving around in hopes that maybe something got wet and driving would dry it out...a;; those things did nothing. So I did a Google search and found this video which showed me exactly what to do. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Thanks this problem was not only going off in the middle of the night but it was also draining my battery to the point were i had to replace it. YOUR THE MAN!!!

Thank GOD for you!!! Just went to fuel up the minivan for a trip tomorrow and lo and behold the alarm goes off right after I fill the tank!!! YES CARSEATS AND ALL!!!! Thank GOD for wifi & YouTube!!!! I was able to turn off the alarm before returning to the apartments and waking the managers that live right across the stairs from us and our parking spots!!!! You are SO MY HERO FOR THE MINUTE!!! Hopefully the princesses will still be asleep when I get home at 2am!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Thank you! I thought it was the neighbor's car going off all night from the direction of the sound from the back of my house. They just let it go. In the a.m. it went off again, and lo and behold it was coming from my driveway!! I unlocked the van, and thought that would fix- but it went off again in a half hour. I ran to YouTube, and found your video. I hope this does the trick! I owe the neighbors, big time. Thanks again!

This video was very helpful. I recently gave my co-worker a jump when it was raining. A week late as it rain in Florida like crazy my alarm kept going off in my Honda Pilot. I took it to the Honda dealer to run a diagnosis and was told I needed to purchase a new key to reset the alarm. It didn't make sense to me but this video does. It was the condensation from the water and temperature change at night.

Thanks Brian. Did this a few months ago and no more alarm issues!

It works folks. This is a clutch video. Bro - you just helped me avoid a lot of anxiety and pissed off neighbors.

Great video for a too-common problem. On my 2013 Odyssey you don't need to remove the plastic cover, or need any tools at all. Popped the hood, found the connector, and unplugged it. 30 seconds work for a lifetime of peace and quiet.

4:30 AM, just did what you suggested and it makes sense. Saw the sensor and plugged it out on my 2011 Honda Civic. Thanks Ranjan

Well, today is July 14th 2024 and this video saved me a ton of headaches! Daughters have vehicles and I let them park in the garage and I’ve been parking my 2016 Odyssey outside for a few months. Recently this has started doing this and I didn’t know why. It’s even easier to locate and unplug as the plug is pretty much park of the hood latch and you don’t even need to unclip it from the structure. Just look at the latch and it’s right there. Pinch and remove. Thank you so much. Now my neighbors can put down the pitchforks and snuff the torches and we all can get some sleep.

Your video is awesome! I couldn't get the housing off, but I am a small enough lady that I could lean over and reach in, trace the cord back and pull the plug. If I pulled the wrong one and my alarm goes off again I may just set the whole van on fire. It's 1am, day 4 after snowzilla...way too cold out for this kind of tomfoolery!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video and making owners of Honda Odysseys with dysfunctional alarm systems a lot happier and well rested without the van alarm waking them . :-)

You're welcome Andy! Way to get it done!

@poppoo78 The thing to do is eliminate ONE suspect at a time (not necessarily permanently) till you find which one is causing the problem. Some times it's the side door contacts being corroded so the door thinks it's open etc. due to changes in humidity and temperature.

Great video, and great humor. It's 11 pm and I'm just had the same problem with my Accord. Neighbours were already outside before I was wondering what was going on. This video makes me suspect the hood switch. I'll dig into tommorow it. I pulled the horn fuse in the meantime to keep it from making a huge racket again tonight.

Finally a fix to that! Ive been having to park my Odyssey outside and I have to leave the hood open so it won't go off but I'm always worried someone is going to mess with it or steal the battery. Thank you sir!!!

Welcome Christine!
