It turns out that if the switch is permanently closed (i.e. This switch is normally closed when the hood is open and open when the hood is closed. I played with the hood-activated alarm switch a bit. I found some hints online but I think they were for after-market alarms instead of factory-installed. The dealer said this is not possible and the indy mech was unsure. So my attention turned to disabling the alarm completely. But the next day, the alarm still continued its random behaviour. Similarly I took it to my local dealer and had their "alarm specialist" look at it. Regretfully the alarm didn't go off once in his care :-/ I left the vehicle with my prefered independent mechanic for two days. I have a workaround and its been in place about 6 weeks over 1 year now, so I feel confident to post it. Because this is just a daily driver/commuter vehicle we didn't bother with a new bumper, but just had the bodyshop reattach the old bumper (a bit scratched) along with the black plastic covering that goes underneath the radiator area. The front bumper came off in a parking-related incident a month ago. I did get the airbag replaced under the highly-publicised recall a year ago or so.

#2008 honda odyssey key fob update#
Update - I just had the battery checked at the local parts store and apparently its fine. (I will get the battery checked out when I get a chance though). It is a nice Interstate-branded battery and is less than 2 years old, and appears to start the engine with no difficulty. Having said that I did change the keyfob battery last week, but that didn't help. I know this is not happening due to accidental actuation of the keyfob - the alarm just went off now and all I have is the physical key - the keyfob is on my wife's keychain several miles away. When it goes off it honks the horn and flashes the headlights. I believe that the alarm is a factory-installed one and not an after-market. I have owned this car since 2009, but this has only become a problem a month or so ago. There is no discernable pattern for when the alarm goes off - it has happened in several different locations, at different times of the day and different temperatures. I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey that has recently developed an annoying habit of having its alarm go off unnecessarily.
