Default Remote key not working

hello to you all, I am using accord 98, auto transmission, 4cylinders, for some time now my remote key is not working. On pressing it once or twice none of the car doors will open, although it started gradually now is worst. Secondly the AC condenser is leaking at the upper end. Please your help is needed. THANKS

AC condensor has a leak and must be replaced. This requires discharging system, replacing condensor and receiver/drier, adding a bit of lubricant (PAG) to new receiver/drier, and recharging.

Key may require only a new internal battery, or key circuit board can be damaged (too many cycles of press/release!).

New key from Honda or a locksmith is likely needed. You might check ebay to see if you can buy a replacement key w/ programming instructions. Here's one example:

good luck

Recharging requires both vacuum drying and addition of R134a to have best chance of long term cooling.

good luck
