Where is the key override on a Honda Fit?
The Honda fit should have a key override on the rear hatch as well as the drivers door, I’d try that first before anything else. Getting power to the car is tricky, if there’s a trailer plug you could charge the battery through that, or at least power up the system enough to operate the locks.
Why does my daughter’s Honda Fit have a flat battery?
My daughter has a 2009 Honda Fit. It seems someone has done something to the car which has caused the battery to go flat. Also, the only door key (driver’s side) won’t unlock the door. Since the battery is flat, the car only makes a slight (and I mean very slight) noise when you press the unlock button on the fob.
Why does Honda want to help car owners?
Seems Honda wants to help owners to thwart thieves, even when you’re a Dad who is in the pooper because he cannot get his daughter’s car started. I did manage to pull the cable which goes down from the key mechanism out of the slot, so now, even if I could get the key to turn, it won’t be unlocking anything (have to get it fitted back into place).
Can you unlock a car with the hood open?
Once the hood was open, I applied power to the battery which allowed me to use the key fob again to unlock the door. To prevent this in the future, I plan to attach a pair of leads to the battery I can get to which I can apply power directly. I’ll place the ends where I can get to them without the hood being open.

Is there a way to unlock a Honda without a key?
Instruct a person inside the car (if there is one) to press the “Unlock” button on the car’s door. On many Honda vehicles, the unlock button is built into door handle. Press the “Unlock” button on your Honda’s keyless entry remote. Even if you lost the physical key to your car, you may have the remote with you or have access to a spare remote.
Can You Leave your smart key fob in the car?
I’ve discovered by accident that you can lock your Smart Key FOB in the car. Normally, if you leave your FOB in the car and lock the doors (or trunk), the car will quickly unlock. This is because the system detects the FOB and is designed to prevent you from accidentally locking it in the car.
What does it mean when your Honda Key does not turn?
When your key opens and closes the door, it then means you have ignition issues but when the key can only open the door, then you will have to check your key for damage issues.
