We don't have the information for your vehicle but security system fuses should be hot at all trimes and is usually underhood. For other Civic models it is linked to the headlight relays.
Check the two fuses in diagram, underhood.

I don't see how rain has anything to do with it unless water is getting to the control unit and this could mean the unit is bad.

Hi KHLow2008.
U replied to my question 3 years ago also...Hope is all good for you..There is no water in there..But the car was very humid inside...And the exact same conditions as the last time this happened..I remember i fixed it by taking off one of the fuses and then puting it back again..I just dont remember if it was in the car under steering wheel or under the hood..If under the hood then it's fuse nr 9 ?

I am fine, thank you.

Based on the diagram for other Civic models, it is fuse # 48 and 54. The 9 is the terminal identifiaction for the fusebox and you won't see it.

How about the one underhood?
The interlock is for preventing the gear shift to be released from P without depressing the brake and is not related to the security system.

No luck in the fuse box under hood...all fuses seem to be ok...but the engine compartment is quite humid..should i spray in there with a spray for humidity?

PCM should be behind the glove box. If water is getting into cabin, it can cause problems with control modules and you should get them dry asap.

I was also told to unplug the battery and wait for ten mins then plug it back again and see...think this would help?

If you need to do that and it works, it indicates a fault with the control modules and you would not know when it is going to fail.

Thank you.
These are owner's manual are are helpful for identifiactions and general information but seems it is rather difficult to get the exact year and model as I could not find the menu to link to models I am looking for.
