'10 MDX EVO-ONE w/ RFK942 remote not working, no green led lock/unlock/start

Question

I've installed the EVO-ONE & harness w/ RFK942 remote kit on my wifes 2010 Acura MDX and it has been working fine for about 3 years till now. My wifes tried to remote start and car was not on when she walked to it, and she tried to unlock using the 942 remote and it didn't unlock for her nor any other buttons did not work. Used her oem remote to unlock and locks fine but alarm goes off when opening door due to how it's programmed but eventually she got it to disarm.

To troubleshoot, I've tried pressing all buttons and all lights the blue led for button press confirmation but did not light a green led for confirmation of communication to main brain like it usually do. Checked if remote buttons is disabled (trunk>lock+trunk) but remote with just blink rapidly for a second and no leds on. Check if in valet mode and it was not as the led was not constant lit on antenna.

Then I've reprogrammed the remotes (2nd remote probabaly just need new battery but if i press 2 buttons a second apart the 2nd press will not confirm blue led press and remote will not light any leds when any buttons are press for about 5-10 seconds and will not program). None of the above did not fix issues.  I am seeking solutions before I dig into the dash to reprogram the brain. Thoughts?

Hello,

When you attempted valet mode were you able to enter and exit it successfully? I.E. you made the led turn on solid, then turned it off? I ask because it almost sounds like your unit has either no power or not ground.

 

Also by default keypad locking is off, did you enable this in the antenna?

Best regards.
