I had a little fender bender a little over a week ago. Nothing major, purely cosmetic (and of course aggravating). Anyway, the damage was to the driver's side front left quarter panel. Had the body shop (not an Acura dealer as the one I use does not have a body shop) order and replace it (after painting, etc.). When I go to pick up my car today, the fob won't open the doors. Uh oh! So, I open manually, get in and start it up. Next I notice that I don't get the Dirver #1 greeting. Start checking things out and find out the locks and windows don't work. Everything else I can see and test appears fine. I'm sure they didn't disconnect the battery as the NAV and radio unit still functioned. Spoke with the service dept. there and they think the body shop forgot to reconnect one of the connectors or forgot to reground something. They think they may have to remove the panel and either reconnect or reground. I did check the fuse diagram and saw that these functions are all on separate fuses (ie. door locks, front window driver's sdie, front winfow passenger's side, etc. are all on separate fuses). Since it's unlikey that all these fuses would go simultaneously, I doubt it's the fuses. Unless of course they weren't grounded properly and all blew. Any opinions on this one way or another? I'm bringing it back Mondaybut in the meantime just wandering what you folks think.

TIA, Greg

 

On the drivers side kick panel next to your left leg is the fuse box... but right above the area where the fuses are is where several wiring harnesses plug in, including the harness from the drivers door. You have have to remove the black plastic panel under the dash to check it out. This is just cosmetic and you can probably just push it out of the way if you can't remove it. Check these connectors for any loose connections.

 

wow.. hope its nothing major caused by the accident :\

 

Brought it in today. As suspected, just a loose connector. 5 minutes and I was out the door. Thankd goodness! Thanks for the concern though.

Cheers,
Greg
