I just purchased this car and when attempting to set the memory on the drivers door switches, per the manuals instructions, both the push buttons' light started flashing in unison. The manual says that when this happens that a dealer must reset it. Is there some way I can reset the switches short of disconnecting the battery, since I am still attempting to get the radio code for the theft-deterrant system on it.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hi Todd Cox,

I am unable to find any resetting procedures from the original Honda manual.

The memory fuse for the control unit is under dash No 15 (7.5A). Remove it for a few seconds and try setting the memory again and see if it helps.

This worked great, the lights no longer are flashing and seats adjust fine. An Acura dealer, when I contacted them, said they had "no idea" on how to repair BUT they would check it out for me for only $100.00/hour.
Thanks very much, now I can buy a couple of gallons of go juice with the money you helped me save.

Hi Todd Cox,

You are welcomed and have you solved the radio code problem yet?

If you have the owners manual, check the owner's particulars page for radio serial number etc.

If the last 6 digits are between 1 to 6, try it, might be the code ;)

If you had tried more than 3 times, you need to reset it by pulling the under hood back-up/radio fuse to reset it.

Thanks for the information, unfortunately I got this car used and the manual isn't the one that came from the factory and the previous owner never wrote any info in the manual in the car.
So, having as much "Fun" as I could handle using the P.O.S. Haynes manual I bought I have gone ahead and pulled most of the dash and console apart to get the thing out just to get the serial number so I can get the correct code. At least the dealer told me that if I have the numbers and registration I won't be charged for the code.
No wonder the labor rates to work on these cars is so damn expensive since it seems to take at least twice as long to work on these as most any other vehicle I have ever worked on.
One piece of advice to others-DON'T BUY A HAYNES MANUAL. I felt like a one legged man in butt kicking contest trying to use the manual. Biggest problem is not all the instructions are correct and some important information, like having to take apart both sides of the dash to get to some of the million or so screws that hold the console together and the fact that if your seats are not in the fully forward position you can't get to some of the screws are not even mentioned. Instead of the Haynes manual spend your money on a 6 pack.
