2013 Acura MDX, electronic problem.

Hello
I have a 2013 Acura MDX that suddenly stop working the driver for controls. I can't lock or open any doors from the driver for control. Lights are pit and I have noticed that when I lock my SUV with ant of the keys, I don't hear the beep and neither I can't open the rear door. Also, the panic key does not work. I don't know if both issues are related.

First, i noticed that i have to close the for to make those locks keys work, the lights were working properly and them started failing, then i have to open the door just a but to work and now neither with for openor close i can't lock or open the doors from driver side, neither thru are lit.

What should I do? Please advise me.

Regards.

Opening and closing the door will change the preasure on the wires between the door and the chassis. You probably have a bad cable harness and will need to take the door panel off to look at it.
It is easy to change and the is a DIY on this site, by Skirmich.

Most of these issues are usually caused by loose wires in the driver door harness. You can diagnose it by looking at the wires, wiggling them a little and seeing if any one of them is loose.

It's a $25 part and very easy to replace.

Here's a detailed video on how to do it:
