that sounds like the central locking controlling lock is malfunctioning , if it is the drivers door then that lock is the control lock and need replacing

first solve the key problem
than check if the gear box has enough oil

sounds like a custom stereo/alarm install might have crossed some wires and is causing small shorts. let me know if its all factory still and i will figure out another solution for you. good luck

Hi, Suggest you get in touch with the body shop that done the repairs as they have either messed up the rewiring or not re-programmed the computer properly after there repairs were done. Please give feedback at [email protected] Thanks, Malcolm Campbell.

Have a look at the dashboard lights dimmer switch. That switch, losing contact momentarily while the lights are on, will cause the lights to flicker.

Short in battery cell or bad connections or the alternator is going bad. Have it fixed before you fry the computers in your car.

Wow. Ok. That was a pretty rude response you received there form r_clark. Let's see if we can find a reasonable way to help you.

When you first get in your car, instead of starting it right up, turn the key to the "on (or run)" position. With the key on, but the engine off, most of your warning lights will light up and stay lit. Some may go off after a few seconds. Draw a quick sketch of the layout of your dashboard before doing this. Then, with the warning lights all on, jot the name and location of each one on your sketch. The next time you are driving, when the light flickers on and off, you should have a fair idea of what it is.

Also, if you are in the process of actually starting the car when this happens, keep in mind that when you turn the key through "on" to "start" and then release it, the vehicle's self test for the dash will turn all those warning lights on, then off, briefly. Certain important lights will come on last and only flicker on briefly. As long as they are doing that during start up, they are ok, and it just means the lights are working properly. If they are actually flickering on while driving or idling, then you have a problem, but likely not a serious one yet.

Hope this is helpful, good luck, and let me know how it works out!

I work for honda and have seen this often. Mostly on the newer vehicles (2008 and newer). we have always fixed this by replacing the insterment cluster. expensive yes but always fixed it. it in itself is a seperate computer so when it is replaced it will need to be initalized through the HDS
