I use my remote to unlcok the driver's side door. I sit in the driver's seat and notice a low buzz. I put the key in the ignition, and the car starts. This morning it did not start until I left the car, locked it, and returned in a few minutes to find that I could start the car even though I heard the buzz before putting the key in the ignition. What do you think is going on?
Sounds like a weak battery, or bad connections at the battery/etc. Could also be a security system issue. Without hearing the noise it is difficult to help you pinpoint it. Maybe compile some more info with specifics like when? how often? cold or hot engine? cold or hot outside? Does the engine crank slow/start normal when it does start? Do you have any non-Honda alarms/gps/tracking systems installed? If so, that's where to start. 99.9% of the time these types of probs show up with non-factory security systems installed, it's caused by the aftermarket product, or sloppy installation by vendor.
Thank you for you thoughts and suggestions. I will get my battery checked. Regarding my security system, mine was installed by Honda when the car was new, I have always assume it is a Honda-manufactured system but I don't know for sure, and I've had no problems with it previously. The buzz I hear definitey occurs when the engine is cold, at varying outside temperatures. There is either no engine crank at all, or it starts completely normally.

SOURCE: master door switch? or something else? buzzes when i press lock
ok ur door lock switch isnt going out,,however ur drivers front door lock actuator is going or is already bad...have that replaced..also as far as the end noise buzz u hear , that may be ur a.b.s modulator and accumulator cycleing on and off..it may be empty and or leaking..have the a.b.s modulator and accumulator checked at the dealer..its an expensive fix... ur modulator unit in in the front left or right of the vehicle depending if u have a v6 or 4 cyl. its a square unit with a rectangular brake fluid resevroir and a long tubular cylinder (acummulator)... also identify it by the orange connectors...and the brakelines going to it...common symptom with those accords....they leak alot especially if with high mileage..
SOURCE: My Car wont let me start it
Well, my mom found a little button underneath the dash board on the drivers side. And I guess its kind of like the reset button. So she pushed it and started the car and it was fine!
SOURCE: Remote won't lock the Drivers side lock
hi there you say you have had the lock changed do you mean the key hole or the door closure part of the lock?
if you changed the key part its the main lock that's faulty and the reveres is true ,
if the remote is working on one door it is not the remote that's the problem.
i hope that this has been helpful regards John
