Green Immobilizer Key Keeps Blinking....
Sup Everyone,
I have been having this problem intermitently for a few months now on my 2000 accord ex v6. The green immobilizer key on the dashboard keeps blinking which is preventing my car from starting. Initially i thought it was the alarm due to the reason that it has a remote start. However when i disabled the alarm the immobilizer light kept blinking. Then i thought it was the battery. I took the battery and had it tested at both RS Strauss and Pep Boys. Both confirmed the battery was no good. For a moment i thought this was the reason the immobilizer light kept blinking. I ran to sears and picked up a gold die hard battery and installed it. Still same problem! I tried three different keys just to make sure it wasnt a bad key but the light still keeps blinking. The car was starting up fine for a while then the problem occured two weeks ago after a bad snow storm in which the car sat for two weeks. After the snow storm i gave the car a boost and it turned on without a problem. Each morning for a week I would turn on the car in the morning just to make sure it started. Then this weekend we had a bad rain storm which lasted for three days and the problem re-occured. The light would not stop blinking. I feel this is the main reason my car does not start, My question now is what causes this light to blink, besides faulty keys or battery which we ruled out?
I thought maybe the main relay as i heard these cars suffer from that but would a bad main relay cause the immobilizer light to blink?
Has anyone ever had their immobilizer light keep blinking?

I dont think its the key, i tried three different keys. each time the immobilizer light kept blinking. I dont they all three keys will go bad and happen intermittently.
Anyone else ever experience this problem? I cant be the only one.

Yea i can see that happening but my car has the problem intermittently. Sometimes it turns on sometimes it dont. If that was the problem, i would think it would never turn on.
Anyone ever have the problem i'm experiencing?

So i tried to tap on the main relay because i heard if the relay is bad sometimes this will allow the car to start. However when i turn the ignition the car is completely dead. The battery appears as if its completely drained. This is a brand new Die Hard Battery i purchased less than a week ago. When i turn the ignition switch the dashboard flickers then dies. Im at the end of my wits. Can someone offer some advice?
