Most honda's radios had a theft deterent system that requires a 4 digit code to be entered after power to the system is lost. If you do not have a code setup, look in your owners manual, some had a factory set code to unlock and allow you to set your own code. If not, you may need to see a dealer as they would be the only ones I know that would have the capability to unlock it.

SOURCE: 2003 Honda Odyssey radio does

If you recently disconnected your vehicle battery, or had it replaced, the code on the radio must be re-entered in order for it to work. It's a security device to discourage theft since you have to have the code to make it come on. The code is printed on a little plastic card in with your owner manual or other papers. You have to enter the code correctly or you will lock yourself out after three trys. This can only be reset by leaving the radio in the on position and the car on (not running, just turn the key to the on position) for and HOUR! I know, I had to do it. Anyway, enter the code and voila! the radio will magically come back on. Write the code down in the manual so you don't have to hunt for the card. A thief may steal your radio, but he probably won't take the manual.

SOURCE: 2003 Honda Odyssey Brake light replacement

open the rear hatch. Between the tail light housing and the rear hatch opening there is a trim strip with two flush fitted flap doors. Insert a small straight blade screwdriver into the small slot on the tail light side of the flap. Pry gently inboard and the small flap will open (the hinge side of the flap is on the side of the rear hatch opening.) Now you can remove the screws that hold the tail lamp assembly in place. Finally, there is still a "spear point" clip that fits into a socket near the front outboard corner of the assembly. Gently pry with a tape wrapped screwdriver (avoids scratches) and force the assembly straight back. The clip should release and free the assembly so you can change the bulb(s).

SOURCE: I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey my radio says code

If an audio unit with theft protection is disconnected from electrical power, you must enter a unique code number into the unit or it will not work. This code and the audio unit’s serial number are listed on the anti-theft ID card that comes with the vehicle. If this card is lost, you must obtain the audio unit serial number in order to get the radio code. Some newer vehicles allow you to retrieve the audio unit serial number electronically from the radio. Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific procedure (the following usually will work: Turn the radio off. Push the preset 1, preset 6, and power buttons at the same time, then quickly release.)
. Some older vehicles (model year 2003 and older) require a visit to the dealer in order to retrieve the audio unit serial number. Once you have the audio unit serial number, you can call Auto Customer Service at (800) 999-1009 or have the dealer look up the radio code.
Hope this gets you started on getting it playing.

Where is the reset button located in a 2003 Honda Odyssey for the anti theft?

If the remote was programmed before loss of power, push and hold the unlock button until the alarm stops. If not try locking and unlocking the drivers side door with the the key. This has reset the alarm on my 2001 Odyssey.

You will also need the unlock code to reactivate your stereo after long term power loss. It is on a card with the manual given to the owner of new vehicles. A smart dealer will put it on a sticker in the glove box. Otherwise you have to remove the radio and give a Honda dealer the radio serial number to get the unlock code. Don't try it randomly; 10 incorrect tries locks the stereo.

2002 Honda Odyssey A/C Heater Blower making noise when running. Took to a mechanic removed and cleaned the blower and replaced polen filter. After 2 weeks blower sometimes stopped and then will work again....

I would take it back to that same mechanic to see if he didn't fully tighten the connector or maybe there is some other problem that he didn't notice or maybe even caused. It is likely that the blower motor connector is just loose.

Folow the cable with a test lamp. When you get to the break the lamp does not work. We used an old side lamp bulb for testing as it drew about half an amp from the supply not like a volt meter.

Radio not accepting manufactur code.

If it is the correct code, you may have entered it a few times & locked the system. Either disconnect the battery & wait a minute & reconnect & retry, or pull the radio fuse & retry after waiting a minute & reinstalling.

Honda Odyssey dvd player not working after having battery jumped

If you disconnect your battery for an hour and then reconnect, the dvd will just pop right out. This happened to us, Honda did not know how to fix it and they wanted me to pay $400 for a new one. But while they were trying to figure it out they were sticking screwdrivers and pens into it and have now broken the whole system and refuse to pay for it.
