python 871xp issues in a honda crv

Thanks to all who responded. I greatly appreciate the effort.

I think there is some confusion to what occurred as I read through all of the posts. When I put the fuses back in after first diagnosing the vehicle DID start on its own without me using the key or transmitter. And actually it happened again today when I put the fuese back in. It started on its own like I used the transmitter but I did not.

And when I mentioned above that the horn would "blare", I meant that it would start honking as if the alarm was going off (consistent honking until she got out of the vehicle and put the key in the driver's door and locked it). This seemed like the alarm was activated although I do not think the alarm feature of the Python was installed and I am pretty sure the vehicle itself does not have an alarm. If it does, it is something she never uses. It could be a standard anti-theft feature of the vehicle but I am not sure about that. Like I said, I am just getting back into working on cars and things have changed a bit.

So, in the end, Hurley's detailed response helped perfectly. t&t gave the same basic concept but in working to override the system puttin it in valet mode using the owner's manual was impossible. I am not sure it ever said to turn the key back "ON" before pressing the valet button. Hurley's specific instructions walked me right through it. I am very grateful.

Last question (for now)...what is that "On/Off" switch next to the LED and valet button?

Thanks again!!!!

So were not moving on...?

Thought that was me agreeing w/ you... ?

i realised u were agreeing with us mr tommy, but damn, u tried to achieve to much in just one post, remember that most of these members have little or no experience in our field, and they come looking for help, not to be confused further by heaps of questions we are suppose to answer, heck the guy didn't even know it had factory security, you think he could have figured that the fad wire wasn't connected, jeez.

cheers tommy
