I think the reset switch is in the rear quarter panel. Open the rear hatch and remove the passenger panel. I am not positive on this it could be on the other side. But on the 1990's vintage it was on the right. This switch is used for "roll overs" to shut of the fuel. You might have a bad pump or clogged filter instead.
I'm no Honda expert so I'm not sure if an 02 has a "key off" evap system. If it does that may be what you're hearing. A lot of newer cars will run evap tests while the vehicle is off. It basically pulls vacuum on the fuel tank with an electric motor to test the integrity of the evaporative emissions system and opens / closes vacuum switching valves.
I believe you do this in this order. Roll windows down, release the latch at the top of the windshield, raise the front of the top, release rear cover by pulling the latch near the rear seat, Pull up the back of the top and then pull up on the rear cover. The back of the top should now fit into the opening under the rear cover. Continue to fold the top into this space. Push down on the rear cover to lock (won't be able to open trunk if not engaged.) To raise it, release rear latch cover, open rear cover and pull top out of opening. Raise rear of top so you are able to now close the rear cover, set rear of top down on cover and then pull fron of top down and engage the fraont latch. Hoe that helps.
the rear blower has its own motor in the back the rear blower motor may be bad or the wires going to it may be bad test for power going to blower motor if you have power in harness hooking to blower motor then blower motor may be at fault auto parts store sells the book on your vehicle its about 18 dollars if not lesser buy a test light trace down your problem if the fuse is good your rear blower motor will be in the back of your vehicle theres a cover that pulls air in back there take the cover of it off you will see your blower motor test wireing going to it for power theres also blower motor relays research it read and you will find the problem good luck
Happens alot. If you or someone pulls the interesting red strap under the rear seat, you have to do a reset. You have a small shot at just re-engaging the motors but will probably have to do a full reset. Take the back seat out and push lever back into the correct position. If you have a semi auto top (have to manually unlock top where it meets the windshield), lift the top back until you can pull up the back of the top to access tonnau cover. If it is a fully auto top, you have to pull out the cover at the very front of the headliner to access manual crank port. There should be a small allen wrench in the trunk tool box. You have to crank and crank and crank until the top is slightly open. You can then lift the back of the top to access tonneau cover. Both top types are the same from here on. Lift up on the tonneau cover and stow the top. Have a friend (or a heavy tool box) push down on the front part of the cover on the passenger side. You will hear a click. This will allow you to open the trunk. There are two motors located in the driver side rear quarter panel. You have to take out the covers hiding them. One motor is sort of in a horizontal placement under the pan where the top is stowed. Push up on this to re-engage. Other motor is in a vertivle orientation and at the driver side rear quater panel. You have to sort of grab the motor with both hands and pull it back into engangement with a gripping motion. Close the trunk. Push the switch to close the top (forward) and hold it down. Insert the key and turn it two clicks (accessory). After about 10 - 15 seconds you will hear the tonneau cover close and then open and the top closes. Let it cycle through and you are done. Hope that helps!
This is not going to sound possible but it happened in my 1994 Crown Vic too. If you have traction control part of the system controls an air valve in the air filter intake area. When the traction control senses a difference in rear wheel speed it chokes the engine so you don't spin the wheels.
Your sensors must be dirty or the emergency brake pads are covering the sensors with brake dust. You need to have someone check the rear brakes.
You motor will produce that hum as air is choked off by the traction control.
Spray the antenna with a spray lubricant (WD40) or similar. and let it sit for an hour.
Then start the car and see what happens.
The antenna is probably full of filth or corrosion..
If that doesn't work take the side cover off the trunk on the side where the antenna is and you will find a plug in electrical connector near the motor that winds the antenna up and down, pull that plug out and the antenna will stop trying to wind itself down..
