The seats and mirrors work but they don't auto adjust when you unlock it with either key fob. What's going on? please help

cpl rampage

hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time untill the light flashes and you should have enabled teh seat linking for that key fob

^ If that doesnt work, does hitting the memory buttons on the door panel work?

jipper

hitting the memory button on the door panel does not work! Tried that. I will try the lock and unlock thing.

jipper

Ok that worked on the remote but did nothing to make the seats auto adjust or mirrors go down when you put it in reverse. Maybe I should of also said the memory button does nothing and the little lights next to 1or 2 don't light up but when you turn the lights on at night the background lighting on them does work. Could there be a blown fuse?

Wait....theres illumination behind the memory panel? More bulbs I have to change out. Had this car almoust five years and they never lit up before! Only the little green led to tell you what memory position was selected lit up for me.

Put the mirriors and seat where you want them. Try pushing and holding the little red button with the key in the on position. The leds for both positions should flash together. Push and hold the number you want to save on until it beeps at you. Then, while the position is active and lit, do the key fob lock and unlock button combo. That should save the fob to that position.

I have my fob set to position 1 which puts the seat all the way back so I can get in without rubbing the bolster. After I get in I push position 2 and its adjusts to where I like to drive. Before I get out I push 1. Fortunatly I am the only one who drives the CL being she cant drive stick so I can have both memory positions.

The little green leds do not flash because they never light up no matter what you press.

The memory positions arent set. Hold down the memory set button on the door panel, then hit the #1 or #2 preset button. You should hear two quick beeps, and the green light corresponding to the memory button you pressed is lit up.

And the mirror itself will only move if the mirror adjustment switch is in the neutral position.

But since your seats arent moving either and there are no green lights on the memory unit, that tells me its not set in the first place.

jipper

Ok just pulled the fuse it didn't look blown but I guess I need to put a ohm meter on it to make sure.

jipper

Ok just checked the number 9 fuse with a ohm meter and its good but what's odd is that it also has the backup lights on it too and they are not working either! What's going on?

Toppatop

I figured out why the memory seat wasnt working. About two weeks ago I had to change battery and I learned from the guys at the stealership that you have to reset the memory seat whenever the battery is disconnected. This is how I fixed my problem hope it works for you.... With the engine turned off and all doors closed, I pressed all three buttons ( memory 1,2&setting) while depressing all three buttons, turn the ignition to on (position II). Now release all three buttons. Whith the ignition still in the on II position, press all three buttons again for twenty seconds and release. The lights should flash and the green lights for position 1 and 2 will be lit. Everything is now ready to be programmed to your comfort.

Thanks top I will try that today!

You have an RL though, would it be the same?

Toppatop

Unbelievable!!!!! I took my car to the stealership to get the gage cluster glass cleaned and when I got the car back my memory seat wasn't working. Didn't realize it till I got home. I tried the reset I posted earlier but nothing is happening. It's not the fuse because everything else in the car works even the bak light on the memory buttons. Any ideas?????

Take it back to the dealer.

Toppatop

I called those $&ckers and they are denying liability as always. They then offered to diagnose the "issue" for $100. Unbelievable.

Id create a much larger fuss. Talk to the Service Manager. Dont do it over the phone. Go in there, in front of other customers, and flip the fuck out.

Toppatop

It's kinda hard to do that because here in Connecticut they will quickly call the police. Do to the fact that I am a police officer I rather not up myself in the predicament.

What dealer is that? If anything, contact the owner (the internet is a big place) as well as Acura Corporate. Id leave a bad review for them on every website they are mentioned.

I understand where youre coming from, but you need to make a stand to them attempting to screw you over.

why would u take it to get the cluster plastic cleaned anyway?? seems like a process just for a simple task. y not clean it urself?

jipper

Does your passenger mirror go down when put in reverse?

Toppatop

Yes the passenger and driver mirrors go down depending on wich one I select. Everything works except for the memory seat. The reason I took it to the stealership was to clean inside the gage cluster. There wet dust or some kind of dirty buildup forming behind the glass. Didn't want to mess with it because of all the complicated electronics in these vehicles.

Toppatop

Oh. The name if the dealership is Schaller Acura in Manchester Connecticut

jipper

No that's not what I am talking about. When the car is put into reverse and the mirror selector is in the center, the passenger mirror should automatically point down to aid in your backing up.

Let us know what the fix is.

Toppatop

I think that's just a cl thing in the RL you have to select wich one you want tilted.

Toppatop

Before anyone yells at me for posting RL issues here. I am just trying to test any fixable option hoping maybe its a universal problem and fix.

jipper

Ok I tried it out, the lights did come on after I held all 3 buttons and turned the ignition to ll then let them go. Then both lights come on and turn off. Then I hold them all again for 20 seconds and let them go..... Nothing happens

Toppatop

When the lights blink u should press memo then then the number corresponding to your key weather its 1 or 2. Theses are RL fixes but i assume they may be very similar.

jipper

Talked to a Acura tec at the dealership, he said I should try disconnecting the battery and touching the leads together to reset the ecu and system.

Toppatop

If you touch the leads together are you not risking the possibility of blowing the fuses? And I assume you will have to reset all of your electronics ie.. Hf link, radio , nav...... Definantly let us know if it works out.

jipper

I sure wish some senior CL guys would give some input!

Yea, dont touch the two leads together. That doesnt reset the ECU.

Disconnecting the battery or removing fuse #13 (15amp) from the passenger side fuse box will.

There is also the #11 fuse (7.5amp) that is the mem seat/overhead light circuit.
