My Fit keeps unlocking randomly while I'm driving

'07 Fit sport here. The other night I woke up to my alarm going off, I went out to stop it, unlocked and relocked it, went to bed, then the next morning I was going to drive somewhere and I discovered it was unlocked.

Now since then it will randomly unlock all doors while I'm actually driving. When I hit the power lock button to re-lock the doors it sounds like it's meeting resistance. I can manually lock all doors, but once all 4 are locked, it unlocks again. Then my power lock switch stopped working for a day, now it works again.

Anyone else experience this or have any input? It's terrible leaving your car in a parking lot somewhere not knowing if it's going to remain locked or not.

When I use the key FOB from outside the car to lock the doors, like 1 out of 4 times it will unlock by itself within 10-20 seconds.

Have you changed the battery on your alarm button lately? It might need a new battery. But safest to let the dealer check it out.

May sound weird but...

Anything plugged into the power outlet?

My old civic would do that when I had a cooler plugged into it. Every 5 minutes.... CLICK!

Try taking the battery out of your key for a day. There might be some dirt or a loose part on the button that is unlocking your car. That will tell you if the problem is with the key or the car.

Yes, I actually a 3-port power outlet plugged into the cig lighter.

Side note: It seems like it may do this unlocking thing when it's raining/really humid out.

How would that explain why the power lock button on the driver's door stops working?

It doesn't. It just determines whether or not the remote is involved in the problem, and it's a relatively easy thing to try. Make a problem "smaller" by eliminating parts, and it's easier to solve.

same thing happened to me i have a base model fit called around about the alarm and actually some one actually told me to look for my alarm under the dash said it should be a box with around 10-20 wires to it and a few wires connected to there own seperate fuses they had me remove the fuses which powered my alarm told me to start with out alarm worked the remote didnt anymore turned my car off tried to rearm the alarm it did nothing then with the car off i replaced the fuses never had that problem again they told me that it basically reset the alarm

o and my car was acting screwy after i let the battery die out completly due to leaving my lights on now i plan on getting daytime running light conversion installed

Weird, ok I'll try some of those things, thanks guys. If anyone else has had this problem feel free to chime in.

storm88000 · #13 (**permalink**) 10-09-2008, 03:55 AM

Ok weird, I think what happens is the car unlocks it's self when the alarm is armed, and thefore it sets of it's own alarm.

You know what, thats a great thought.. cause from what I remember it WAS raining the night it first happened.

i smoke so when im at work i end up smoking in the car when it raids, with the window down a crack it seems the water the drips off the roof goes right into the window and lands on the window control panel, i keep a dust cloth in my car i usally cover the panel with the cloth to keep it dry. im a computer tech so i know what water does to electronics

id take a run to the dealership and get it checked.
