I replaced all the bulbs in my a/c unit yesterday & now the car won't start. Has anyone else had this issue when doing that? The seat won't even move & the gear shift in lock mode. I tried jumping it off, but nothing. What's the deal. What have I done?

 

Its probably a dead battery. Did you maybe leave the ignition switch in the "1" position? I don't think replacing the lamps for the A/C is related to the car not starting.

Connect a volt meter to the battery terminals and it should be over 12v.

 

I'll try that. After I worked on it I tested it & the defrost light was flashing & then the auto & dual lights flashed together when I pressed auto, so I thought I did something wrong. I did leave the ignition on for the radio & the door open for a breeze(it was actually warm out), but I didn't thing that would run the battery down that bad. Thanks.

 

sounds to me like you created a short somewhere
As I recall there is a main fuse for the battery located on the positive cable connection. You may have blown that fuse.

 

I'd assume a dead battery. Last week while changing my breaks i carelessly left the car in acc 1 and had the radio on and door open and my car died. So just have someone give you a jump. I'd think that should solve it.

 

Yet more evidence that our OEM batteries are weak sauce. I propose that Acura fit RLs with deep cycle batteries given the amount of electronics in the car.

 

if its the original 2005 battery, then its probably overdue for replacement

 

The battery charger worked & all the a/c lights work now. Does anyone know what bulb the heated seat light uses? My low light is out & while I still have everything apart, I figured I would replace it too.
