Hi all. I had this strange issue with my rdx 07.
Drove to home had parked and everything - no problem ! then later on (few hrs later) i started with a remote starter - no problem - 10min later i shut it of (through the remote) and 5min later i went to the car and tried to start with the key and for some reason it just wont start - Everything lights up all good and once i start to crank it acts as the battery was dead (altho all the light are functional) So i brought my other car to boost it. It started just fine - No problem. Then i put "R" on reverse and it just wont reverse and all kind of lights came on in the dash (ABS, SH-AWD, HAND BRAKE and others) I put on Drive all light goes away and car starts to drive. Then i shut down the car and tried to start it again and its the same problem. Ive also noticed radiator fan comes on for a 2seconds shuts of for a second and then starts again for 2 seconds. Now the remote starter dont work ! With the key iam able to open/close the doors but cannot arm the vehicule (double click on lock). Was a rainy day - maybe water somewhere in the ecu?! Any ideas what can cause that?!

Also few times happened that my alarm suddenly starts off (also on the rainy days)..........................

pls help any ideas or suggestions?!!!

THANKS ALL

thoiboi - i think u a right - just plugged again a booster and suddenly all works the Reverse works fine all goes well - untill i unplug the boosting cables, once its done its over car wont move ....
Now i wonder is it a battery or the alternator?! I making it run now for 10 mins with cables on

- baattery could be the anwser !!!!

Undercharge or just plain bad batteries causes ALL sorts weird electrical issues since cars nowadays are filled with gizmos and gadgets.

If the battery is old, replace it. If it's not that old, you may be able to get away with just charging it with a trickle charger for a few days.


Regardless, I'd get it replaced or fixed asap. The charging system is finicky and a bad battery can cause increased strain on starter and alternator and eventually those two can go bad too.

how funny - foken battery, thanks all !!!!!! ill replace it today tomorrow let u know if it fixed the problem

...but also i think it funny cause the hid was working well and all the light were working well . if the battery is dead isnt supposed to be no lights at all?!

thoiboi

nope.. it's not a go or no go type of situation

so I replaced the battery, looks fine, after i drove 30mins, battery light came on my dash - is that mean its alternator not charging properly??!

Light on dash usually means alternator.

Could be the alternator or the Hands free sucking current. Seems to be common issue, was in my 07 TL
