I own a 99 CL and I can't figure out why when I push the lock and unlock on my acura factory key chain the car doesn't beep at me anymore when the doors lock or unlock. I think i pushed some buttons on the pad and set it for silent. It really suck on sunny days when I try and use the automatic lock button on my key chain and can't tell if my car is locked or not. The lights still flash but no sound any suggestion? I have disconnected the battery and reconnected it but that didn't make a difference. everybody talks about the black box for the alarm and removing the fuses where is that?

 

try holding the lock and trunk buttons to enable the chirp

 

and post back if that works.

 

Thanks so much that worked

 

cool, im glad that worked for you.

 

Tight I gotta try this, i have the same issue.

 

Usually if the chirp doesn't work anymore, it might mean the battery in the remote is on its way out. I had the same problem where I would set it to chirp and after a few days, it would go out and not chirp anymore. Doors would still lock and unlock regardless of the sound. I replaced the remote battery and the chirp is still working strong. Give this a shot if the chirp stops working after a few days.

 

it worked! this rocks!

 

On that note: anyone got any spare remotes with the FCC ID of A269UZ whatever for our car?

I'll gladly take it!

 

I have the same problem. I tried both (the trunk button and lock button at the same time, and changing the battery) and neither work. Are there any other ideas?

 

the chirping? or the remote doesnt work?
press your panic button and let us know if it honks when the alarm is engaged.

 

The chirping and the alarm. If I hit the panic button the lights flash but no chirping. And when I lock and unlock the door it doesn't chirp, just the lights flash and it's hard to tell sometimes if I locked the door during the day. It's just annoying.

 

same thing is wrong with my car, looks like your security was disabled, does it even blink on the led on your door?

 

Yeah the red light on the door still blinks when I lock the door.

 

Off topic, but after a couple months without a remote, I finally got one.

alright, anyway....

 

Sweet! I just stumbled onto this. Chirp works now, and so does my trunk button. I'm at work so I haven't tested the panic (previously nothing happened for the panic, or the trunk button). The door sill LED still isn't flashing. Does that mean my alarm isn't activated? Is there an easy way to set the alarm off so I can see if its working (if the panic button doesn't work)?

 

roll you window down, lock your door and let it sit for acouple mins. then open the door from the inside without using the remote.

 

Alarm works! The panic button works too now after holding down the lock and trunk buttons. Still no door sill light. I'm guessing its just burned out... never taken apart the door before, and I don't think there's a fuse for that. Any ideas??

 

My car wasnt chirping at all when i lock or unlock the doors the lights just flash. But now that i stumbled upon this thread it chirps now, sweet ass!!!!

 

taking the door apart was a pain in the ass, especially for that part.

 

the solution to this could have been found in the owners manual BTW

 

i would take a guess and say that alot of people dont have their owners manual when they bought the car.

 

Does the 97's chirp? because mine doesn't.

 

nevermind it works

 

Questions! How do I make it silent again? I can't sneek out now! My lady will know.

 

hold those 2 buttons again to turn it off.

 

Mine works fine now thank you. I was one of many who bought it used and couldn't find anything about the alarm online until this forum

One question though is there any way to make is not so loud? Its pretty darn loud right now haha.

 

no, cant really control the volume of it.

 

alright, i can live with loud.

It kind of says "I'm serious, don't touch me unless you're the one making payments on me!".

 

funny, i thought cl's only had that chirp until a few mths ago when i saw a girl unlock her 325is with the exact same sound. I didn't have the ball joints to get the nerve to run over and ask her about it but that can't be factory bimmer can it? Either way, its still a loud and distinctive noise in todays parking lots with nearly every car remote having some sort of lock/unlock notification. and it still turns some heads... ...BTW if you're sneaking in, just lock it with the door panel, sneaking out...well you'll just have to play with those two buttons or use the key. (my actuators are broken so can't use the key or the alarm will go off )

 

yeah.......all cars with the keyless entry have honk when you lock it........

 

I have 2.3 CL 99 and i have the same issue with my keyless entry. When i lock or unlock the doors it does not chirp but the light does come on and off. I tried holding trunk and lock key together but it doesn't solve the problem. I tried the panic button too but when i press it, just light come on and off and no sound. Any idea what could be wrong? Thank you all in advance for being so helpful , always.

 

mine is like that, when my front bumper was off i found out the horn for the alarm was taken off....

 

Thanks for reply.....Do i need to take front bumper off to see if the horn for the alarm is taken off or is there any other way i can find out abt it.

 

I have a 1999 Acura 2.3 CL. It has always "chirpped" once when you lock it and twice when you unlock it. The chirping has stopped. The remote still DOES lock and unlock. The lights still flash when locked or unlocked. If and when I hit the "Panic"/alarm button, the alarm DOES sound. Every thing is normal except the chirps don happen when I lock or unlock it. I tried one solution I saw at this sight saying to "hold the trunk and lock buttons at the same time for 5 to 10 seconds and that will re-enable the chirps"....but that didn't help. Do I hit the trunk button first....or the lock button first??.....or do I try to press them both at the very same time??? I tried all three of those methods and it didn't help. Anyone have any other suggestions???? THANKS!

 

so long as you get them close enough together the order doesnt matter, pay attention to the LED on the thing, and only release the buttons after it flashes to confirm, I think 1 is ON and 2 is OFF

 

what if the light doesnt even come on the door how do u enable the security and also were is the balck box car alarm module

 

i believe its under the driver seat if i remember correctly.

 

What does it take to se the factory alarm off? it seems like my alarm never goes off even with ppl rocking the car back and forth.

 

roll down your windows, lock the car wait a minute or 2 then open it up from the inside with the doors locked.
