The battery in my car died when I was not using it. I would to replace it this morning and when I close the circuit the horn goes off to alert people around me that I’m trying to steal my car. I have attempted to unlock lock and unlock again the door and neither of my key fobs work to disable it either.

Hi,

Give this guide a read, specifically towards to bottom where it gives specifics about Honda systems.

It sounds like what happened is the security system was activated and disconnecting the battery will not disable it. Basically, the vehicle thinks it is being stolen so it is sounding the alarm. Have you tried putting the key in the ignition and trying to start it? Also, another thing I would try is putting the key in the drivers door and holding it in the unlock position for 2 seconds then open the door.
