Acura family— my car alarm went off 3 times today, unprovoked. Twice at work, which lead me to do research which I found out it could be the keyless module having some sort of buildup around pins. Got home, parked in the garage, locked the doors just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke with the alarm, kinda windy today so this would eliminate that possibility. Sure enough about an hour later it went off again!! Dealership doesn’t have openings til after the holiday so I wanna take a look and see if it’s like the video I saw for an mdx, does anyone here have schematics or know the location of the module? I hear the parts are expensive and hard to find even for dealers…

 

Found it! Now let the diagnostics begin..

 

What did you end up doing to fix it? Or how did it get fixed? Because mine is doing that right now

 

I took the module out and had 2nd thoughts as i was opening it up. Decided to let the dealership handle it since i was still under warranty. They replaced it, took a few days so they gave me a loaner. I think that module was around $1500!! The issue was fixed and i ended up trading it a few months later

 

well... where is it???

 

It's located on the driver side dash behind the lower panel on the left hand side of the steering wheel where the LDW and other indicators are

 

any chance you have a picture of it? Old Jeep guy trying to find this gizmo and having a really hard time, especially cuz i dont know what it even looka like

 

Go to the 1:50 mark in this video and see if this helps
