Could not find this one in the search, but I was looking on CTRO site and saw a Thread on alarms not working. So as you do I checked mine and guess what……. Yep not a peep . The indicators flash but no siren and the sensors in the car don’t seem to work either !!! Cant believe I have had my car for a few months with no alarm, and probably no bloody immobiliser……. Check yours
I read this thread with some horror on Saturday night, and swiftly remembered it when I accidentally activated my alarm this afternoon with my new pressure washer.
Before I check mine what does the Type-s ( non GT model) have in terms of alarm. More to the point how does it differ from the Type-s GT if at all. Mines is a March 07 model btw.
I have noticed it lock itself from time to time if i have not entered soon after pressing unlock door button but cant find out exactly when it will do this and under what circumstances.
I didn't think (though I am probably wrong) that a non GT type S had a Cat 1 alarm. I thought they just had the perimiter alarm like the SE and Sport 5dr models.
Before this post I sat in the car and tried to set it off by moving about after 1min. Nothing. I locked the car using dead lock and could not set it off as could not open the door. Tried turning on the lights to no avail, Then locked the car without the second push to activate the dead lock and off the alarm when when I opened the door. Just when I was starting to think another visit home was due!
Well mine looks sorted now , keep trying it on a regular basis if they replaced yours recently it couild be with the old type control box and may fail again !
I know mine works: I left my girlfriend in the car when I popped in a shop and accidentally (force of habit) locked the car. When I came out I wondered why the alarm was going off then realised what I'd done. She wasn't happy - oops
Did the same thing, 2am at a motorway service station in France a couple of weeks ago, locked my son in the car accidentally while I went for a jimmy, woke up all the others that were trying to sleep in their cars!!
hello all,i bought my type s gt in march of this year,and after reading up,i checked my alarm,big surprise its not working,but if i remember correctly it did work before,ringing the dealer tomorrow.

After resetting mine on the dealer (showed to them how to do it) my alarm is working but I have a question. I can hear only a siren that if I am sleeping near of the car I might not listen it. Is that only the siren that will sound or the horn also?
Hi, just checked my civic's alarm system. I've got the 2008 1.8 civic sport, being for the french market its specced slightly different from the UK's. The alarm works ok (don't have the ultrasonic thingy, just perimetric alarms). And its just the horn and lights, no siren on mine.
PS. It really did hurt the ears (tested it in an underground parking). It would appear that using the horn for the alarm system is a much better option than having a weak @$$ siren IMHO
4 days after the fix (new fuse box) mine is still working........ so fingers crossed.
Interestingly since it was done i now find that my sat nav changes to nightime mode and the dashlights dim automatically when the headlights are switched on.
Previously i had to change the sat nav manually when driving in the dark

Hello, my 2006 Civic 1.8 ishift has the usual alarm problems but Honda UK have been unable to find a fix for it. The indicators flash but there is no sound. I understand that they've changed most of the alarm parts too. I've been without my car for 6 weeks now and would really like it back. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do?
Just got my new 08 EX and the alarm works fine atm. I will keep checking it though. Also as i mentioned in a previous post I had no issues with my 55 EX either.
My alarm also wasn't working, took it back to dealers and they said they'd never had this before.
