I lost my keyless remote to my civic a few weeks ago - it was working fine before I lost it. I went to the dealer the other day and bought a new remote. They gave me programming instructions - which required holding the valet button on the factory radio. I had put in an aftermarket radio like 10 years ago but the factory radio was still inside the dash. I pulled it out (luckily I still had the face to it). The radio turns on; however, when I hold the valet button down the locks do not ever cycle.
Power door locks work fine using the switch on the driver door (and worked fine w/ the remote before I lost it). All doors lock when I lock the driver door from the outside using the key. Any suggestions about why the locks won't cycle while holding down the valet button? Apparently I need them to do so to enter "programming mode" in order to program the new remote.
