Replacing battery

Putting a new battery in a 2000 Honda Accord. When I hook it up the horn starts blowing and I don’t know how to get it to stop.



I’ve tried hooking the battery up and with the horn blowing I turn the ignition on, turn on the radio and put in the five digit anti-theft reset code but that doesn’t work.



What do I do.



Thanks



Read the beginning of this article http://www.brakeandfrontend.com/Article/40466/tech_feature_has_your_battery_life_lost_its_charge_tips_to_get_back_that_spark.aspx This is why a backup power source should always be connected on todays vehicles when disconnecting the battery cables. And here’s an example of one http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=6431&utm_source=nextag&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=KAS295A&utm_campaign=nextag_r1.

So you may have to take it to the dealer so a scanner can be used to see if any modules are asleep that won’t wake up.

I got it. Thanks for the help though. What you do is hook up the battery. The horn will be honking. Then take a key and lock the driver side door. Then wait a second and then unlock. The alarm goes off. I called a dealer to get it because near as I can tell none of this is in the owners manual. Now the next question is why do they even make owners manuals to begin with? : > )
