I'm looking to remove the OEM anti-theft fuse from my 98 Honda Accord. The last couple of cold nights the alarm has been going off without notice. I had to disconnect the battery last night. Tonight I had to turn the car on & take a drive for it to go off. I'm trying to remove the fuse so that it will not go off.

Disconnect the battery take out the horn fuse then connect the battery it should work. This resets the alarm. Hope it works. You can then put the horn fuse back but if it goes off when you put it back then there's something wrong with your alarm.
If your car came with the Prestige Alarm unit, there is a possibility that the alarm box got deprogrammed or burned, and left the anti-theft activated. Use the Valet Switch to deactivate the alarm permanently, and see if the car starts. For some reason unknown to me, it takes a couple of cycles of crank/ take the ignition switch off, crank again for the Valet Switch to work. In my 98 Accord, this micro-switch is installed in the left front kicker panel, but there is no guarantee that it will be in the same place in you accord, since it is a dealer installed option
If it has Anti Theft installed yes. If it is part of the ECM not a lot you can do. If it is an after market alarm which It probably is you can pull the in line fuse from the power line that connects the alarm to power and get past that. The fuse will most likely be located in the engine compartment on the power wire that leads to the alarm.
Faulty wiring is most likely the issue with your vehicle anti theft sometimes overtime the wiring will get old, disconnected, and possibly water rot I would check the wiring or have a professional alarm installer look at it could even be in the harness. If your anti theft works I wouldn't worry to much about the horn sounding when you click the button however once set if you rock the truck and the alarm doesn't sound their is definitely a reason to get it looked at. easiest way to check yourself is to pop the hood and look for the alarm system usually against the firewall on the right or left corner depending on if it is after market or stock look at the connecting wires trace them down and see if their appears to be any noticeable damage if not last resort check the fuse that the alarm is connected too might be blown. Any more deep of an issue would probably require a specialist to take a look at.
Most hondas have the code on the vehicle itself for resetting the code once the battery has been disconected or radio removed. Try pulling the glove box out and looking on the inside of the cavity. You should not need a code to remove the radio the alarm should not go off, it is the installation. The radio will not work with any other --vehicle without your specific code, good thieves know this and would rather steal the whole car. "Especially the Honda Accord. Have one in the garage and a 2005 Pilot.
