you should have your speed sensors checked... might be the problem.

Call around to your local auto parts stores and see which ones do free code reading. Get a code, come back to us and hopefully its something we can help you with/fix

When that happened to my old Accord, turned out to be almost dead alternator and weak battery. Just a thought.

the lights actually turned off the next day , maybe foreign object got into the sensor , this happened to me once before , i think drifting snow got in there some how , this happened on 2 snow storm days, give it a day or so before servicing.

Mine does this every now and then. And for some reason now everytime I use the remote start they come on and stay on until I resart with the key. The alarm has been on like 2 yrs and this only started about 3 or 4 months ago. Anyone know what would cause this??
