Question Misc 2005 Acura RL Issues

Hi All! Perhaps some of you can help me / point me in the right direction with a some of the issues I'm having with my 2005 Acura RL.

  • My Onstar quit working. I simply get a solid red light next to the button. I still subscribe to Onstar
  • CD Changer finally went out. I've read this is a common issue but am not sure where to get it repaired.
  • Information Display that shows temperature, etc randomly flickers and displays odd text.
  • There is a whining sound from coming from the transmission / drive shaft that is driving me crazy.
  • Interior Lights have went out on climate control
Just for the record here are some things I've had to get repaired in the past.

  • Windshield Wiper Motor had to be replaced. Dealer said this was a rare issue.
  • Replaced Alternator
  • Headlight flickering (Simply had to replace bulb)
  • Normal Service / Maintenance
The car now has over 120K. I really like the car but it's somewhat a love/hate relationship with all the quirky things that have went wrong.


Any comments / suggestions are much appreciated.

First off, how old is the battery?

For the whine: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=754805

For the climate control bulbs: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=713113

For the info display: https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...99&postcount=6

For the CD changer, I would find one out of a wreck yard. No sense in repairing a broken one when there are hundreds of good ones sitting around for cheaper.

For the OnStar: Call PayPal.
