First thing to check are the fuses.

You'll have to reprogram the radio code into the radio. This is done to prevent use of a stolen radio. The code should be in your owners manual or the dealership can get it for you.
You don't. You have to maintain the factory radio in the car somewhere or the keyless entry will not work on 96-98 civics.
Did you remove the stock radio to install an aftermarket radio by chance? If so then this is why your keyless entry stopped working because the keyless entry is hooked up to the stock radio. I had to buy a special adapter harness and throw the stock radio in the back of the dash somewhere in order to have a new radio and my doors to unlock and lock. I know it sounds stupid but there is no other way the guys at Circuit City said. Hope this helps.
The room fuse blew on my 2008 Kia Spectra. My interior lights, clock, radio and keyless entry were not working so that's apparently what it controls.
yes they are cr1620 lithium you can get them at Radio Shack
let it be known that if you have stock keyless entry on a 96-98 civc ex that disconnecting the radio will disconnect the dome lights and your keyless entry. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THEM UNLESS you keep the old raio connectd and splice the new radio into the wires. go to installdr.com and they can help you
Keyless entry doors are not as safe and reliable as standard door locks. Many times these operate on a radio frequency that can be duplicated by amateur radio enthusiasts, allowing them access to your home.
One or more fuses have blown.
took me a week to find the problem . under the hood take out the radio fuse and replace it ( even if it looks good )
Contact crutchfield radio / electronics they will provide you with a free wiring harness when you purchase the radio thru them which will allow you to connect your radio without effecting the cars other electrical systems. the 1996 to 1998 Honda civic has the keyless entry module built into the factory radio, you will have to wire the factory radio in-line with your aftermarket radio, most people then hide the factory radio under the center console. your other options would be to go without keyless entry or install an aftermarket unit.
i found it just below the radio and above the air bag ecu.
Blown fuse.
