Default Help!! Security Lockout!!

02 coupe (auto) Had ignition on while doing some detailing, went to garage for a bit and when I came back the headlights were up, security light on gagues was lit and a slow low alarm "bong."
Is this the dreaded " colum lock," or something more sinister???
Thanks

My wife's Honda Accord does this to me all the time, so now I don't go near it, have to wash it, clean it, wax it, fix it, she has the new pool boy fix everything. She said he has the tool for the job.

If her pool boy is named Raoul, my wife will be mad. She HATES being two-timed.

You may have drained the battery and when the battery is LOW the BCM can cause all sorts of weird stuff to happen. Charge the battery, check and clear all of the codes and give her a try to see if everything is normal.
