Attached is the "ENTIRE" section of the HVAC system. You need to look in the PDF for the section you require. It took me a "MANY MANY HOURS" to get the entire section but driving in comfort is extremely important.
Enjoy and Stay COOL.

Thank you for your diligent effort Dave! I did a quick search and found that the nomenclature they used was very interesting. If I'm reading things correctly at a quick glance, rather than use the term "actuator or blend door actuator", they used driver's and passenger's "air mix control motor". Thanks again!

Dave, I just moved from a 2004 Honda Accord Coupe (for which I have both the Helm manual and the V-6 supplement) to a 2014 RDX. I don't have any problems (yet!), but I have downloaded the pdf's you have posted here, and I appreciate all that you have done!
Thanks very much!
RFT!!!

Hello. Do you have a diagram that shows the nut welded in frame for fastening a trailer hitch for Acura RDX 2017 USA ? I need the information so i can find the right bolt to install the hitch. Thank you !

And don't force the bolt with a wrench or ratchet. If it does not going in by hand, do it right and clean out the threads.

Those frame rails have been hot dipped galvanized and then zinc chromat primed before any top coats. There won't be much if any build up.
Any brush, except your welding brush, to cleanup. A little Zep Bolt Buster goes a long way.

Hi Dave,
This is a great picture and helps a lot. Thanks for posting it. I ordered a Thinkware U1000 2 channel dash cam for my 2018 RDX Tech, and I got a few questions for you
1. Do you happen to remember which empty fuse slot was constant power and which was switched power?
2. Can you please tell me which way to orient the fuses going into the Fuse tap wire?
3. Are those both 10 amp fuses?
4. Are the fuses placed in the slot closer to the wire or the legs?
Thanks in Advance for all your help!!

Hi Dave,
Is there a Brake Bleeding Procedure in the Maintenance or Brake section in the service manual?

Hello
@RescueDiver I do not know which ones were hot battery and switched. Just use a meter to find out. Picture shows the orientation of fuse taps. I checked the load using my oscilloscope with amp-meter and added 20%, then I chose the next higher fuse to for camera system.

Brake Rotor and Pads
Hi Dave,
Thanks so much for all the posts. I would very much appreciate it if you could kindly post the sections of the service manual for front and rear brake rotor and pad replacement.
I searched through this thread and found only the brake bleed procedure but not the procedure for the pads and rotors.

Hi Dave,
I am thinking of putting in a Cellink Neo battery to power the Dash cam when parked. Do you think I can use either of those fuse slots (28 or 40) with a 20 amp fuse?
Thanks in advance for all your help for all your help!!

Please follow the title of this Thread for "Manual Requests" and keep the irrelevant posts to a minimum. The thread is getting bigger and it is harder for people to go thru all the pages to find the manuals they are looking for, This has already started to happen as I got requests for manuals already posted.
If you have any specific questions for me fell free to PM me and I will be glad to help out.
DRCRDX already tried to let everyone know to stop the chit chat.
Thanks for your understanding

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reminder, I will keep it to Manual Requests. Does the manual have removal instructions for the plastic cover behind the rear view mirror. See picture below. Thank you for all your help!!

Hi Dave, can you please upload wiring diagram for tailgate harness. I'm specifically looking for tailgate close button on the tailgate itself. Also removal of Close button.
I'm trying to add foot sensor and want to make sure if button is positively wired or negative.

Thanks in advance

Hello Dave,
First of all a big thanks for all this!
I have a 2013 RDX w/technology package.
I needed the keyless access system troubleshooting and wiring diagrams as it always gives me "check keyless access system" message and even the dealer was not able to fix it.
Also, I have a parasitic drain related to fuse 29 and I used the diagrams you posted to see the components I needed to check. Are these components right (from page 6 of attached diagram); how can I find these in my vehicle? They all seem to be located in the center junction box 2 but I am not sure how to find that.

- gauge control module
- acuralink control unit
- audio unit/audio-navigation unit
- multi-informational display unit
- audio display unit
- anc/active sound control unit
- sunlight sensor
- audio-navigation switch panel
- homelink unit
- front hfl-navigation-anc/active sound control mic
- should I include the MICU and the part of the circuit that leads to the driver's junction box?

Attached is the wiring diagrams for your parasitic drain. The locations for the components are noted in the diagrams.

* REPLACE DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY, REAR (AWD, right side)
* REPLACE DOOR LOCK CYL, FRONT (left)
* REPLACE DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY, REAR (AWD, right side)

If you want Acura OEM remote start, attached is the installation manual. You need to register the remote start module to the ECU using the HDS or professional Scan tool. If you decide on aftermarket, then you need to go with their installation manuals.
