while riding all of a sudden my radio went out, so i started checking and i also noticed that my cigarette lighter was no longer working either. upon further checking my dome lights nor my door panel lights are working either... unfortunately for me, my panel that covers my fuses inside the car are missing and i dont have my manual either. I was hoping someone could provide me some insight on where to change the fuses so i can resolve this issue.


many thanks...

 

i left out vital information sorry.... i have an Acura 2.5TL 1996

 

I think the interior light fuse is under the hood actually.

IIRC, the interior light fuse does the annoying dinging noise too lol, I'll see if I can get a picture of it for you

 

ill scan my 3.2 manual. it may help even tho i got a 3.2. i cant find the fuse list in my maintenance adobe book thingy. unsane... can u find it in there?

 

Nah, I couldn't find a picture/diagram of what was what unfortunately, I was going to take a picture but my sis has my digi cam

 

I have a 1997 TL. I am using the cigarette lighter to power an MP3 FM transmitter and it came loose at the socket. When it did, my radio went blank! It also blanked out my dome light and key in ignition bell from working. The manual does not identify the cigarette lighter fuse as such but I found it in the fuse box under the hood as number 20 interior lights. This controls radio, cig lighter, dome light, door lights, and key in ignition chime!! Hope this will help.

I have a 1997 Acura TL and, with the doors unlock, and without rhyme nor reason the alarm will go off ! I put the key in the door, lock and unlock to shut it off and that is about it, until it happens again (usually days later). It hasn't done it when it is locked. I would like to know why it does this. I have read where it might be a faulty hood sensor but, what I would really like to do is disarm it completely since all people do when it does go off is get mad instead of checking if someone is trying to break into the car. Does anyone know how to disable the alarm out there ? Thanks

 

Daveandjudie:

Its most likely the hood latch sensor, it seems to do this on Legends, TLs and RLs. I'm not sure how to disable it or what the procedure is for this. Someone else will hopefully chime in. Good luck.

 

The fuse is the middle 15AMP when looking from the driver's side of the car (under the hood). I blew mine day before yesterday and used the fuse for my parking/guage lights until I was able to drive to Kragen after work yesterday.

~Cheers~

P.S. Mine was a 3.2, not too sure about the 2.5 but it should be similar. Basically look through all the blue ATC fuses.
