Problem overview

Some Honda Fit owners report experiencing issues with the radio and remote key entry after a jump start, often due to a variety of potential causes. Commonly, a dead key fob battery can prevent the remote from functioning, while worn buttons may also lead to failure. Additionally, poor battery contact and water damage to the key fob are reported problems that can disrupt remote entry. Some owners find that a defective key fob or issues with the receiver module can impact functionality. Signal interference is another factor that may hinder the key fob's operation. In some cases, an unpaired key may require reprogramming, and a dead 12-volt battery can further affect performance. It is recommended that owners check the key fob battery, inspect for physical damage, and ensure proper pairing and programming. If problems continue, consulting a professional technician for diagnosis and repair is advisable.
