97 Civic LX Keyless entry

Joined: Feb 17, 2005 Posts: 6

My keyless entry started acting up, I called the dealer and they told me about the reset button on the face of the factory radio. Previous owners had a new radio installed and the installers pushed the OEm radio down inside after removing the faceplate(no reset button). I bought another radio, installed the security module and the system acted like before until I pressed the reset button. All seemed normal but now the remote does nothing. I checked the batteries on both remotes, resync'd the remote but still nothing. I disconnected the battery, I reset the radio again (I can hear the door locks activate when I do that) but still nothing.
Any ideas??

The keyless entry receiver has to be programed to respond to the code
transmitted by your remote. The replacement receiver you bought would
not be programmed to your key fob, thus the keyless entry does not
work. You can find the procedure for reprogramming the receiver at
