Asked by Guru1BVYP Sep 03, 2019 at 09:47 AM about the 2016 Honda Accord EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2016 honda accord stays in accessory mode even after I exit car and FOB
doesn't work. This drains the battery. If I disconnect the battery it resets and
turns off, then the FOB works. After I start the car and turn it off it stays in
accessory mode again and FOB doesn't work. It seems as if a relay or
something gets stuck in the closed position and only disconnecting the
battery opens the circuit... but which one. I've had the ignition switch
changed but no solution. Any suggestions?
