Exactly- main fuse blown to have no power anywhere
UNLESS
the battery NEG cable has been known to come loose INSIDE its connector the frame- wiggle inside clamp loose! enough loose to lose all power--could be!
Its under the battery box as general location

What do you mean replaced the clamps? not the entire cable?? just at battery- pos and neg ends?
were ends crusty blue and white? why replaced and how
Were there repeated jump starting attempts during this problem?

whats the backstory on this problem- before you threw parts at it?
year miles odd events in 2 weeks prior to failure?

There is no fuse on the passenger side of the car except under the hood there is another fuse box on the drivers side and to the person asking about the clamps and wires I replaced the clamps that go in the battery that connect to the wires I can't afford to replace the wires so I replaced the clamps to see if that would work but I'll try the fuse 100A but don't know what that looks like all I see is fuses 7.5 A 55 30 10 and I think 30 it's a 1997 honda accord so could someone E mail me a pic of the fuse box I'm suppose to look for at juggalofolyfe66623@gmail.com

Wait what? the car you cant start is a 1997 Honda Accord? What makes you think the 2G (1999-2003) Acura TL Forum has any resemblance to a 5th Gen Accord? You need to go to a specialized Accord Forum...

it is- a specific site like you need - just the wrong one.
Do an internet search for Accord forums and they will hook you up

The main fuse is often on the firewall or fender, its by itself in a 1 inch x 3 inch box- dimensions approx. to give you an idea what to look for
not 100 and 7.5 in the same box
Good luck!

New Modern Day Acura Owner

Hey Guys,

Back in 2001 my dad bought a Milano Red 1999 Acura Integra GS-R and he gave it to me when I turned 16 and till this day I have it with 184,000 miles and I don't ever plan on selling it. While driving my Integra I started to like Acura a lot and I was drawn to the TL specifically the 1999-2014 TL. So for 17 years my family only had the Integra and to make a long story short we bit the bullet and bought a 2012 TL 3.5 Advance after having a handful of Mercedes and Lexus. Its a Graphite Luster Metallic and Black interior. I drove the 3.7 SH-AWD before the 3.5 FWD and the SH-AWD is definitely better handling and more desired but I felt that the FWD felt faster, maybe because it has less weight to move around. Anyways, I plan on doing a muffler delete this weekend and eventually getting the whole underbody spoiler kit.

Great to finally have another Acura
