Hey fellas, my 1999 TL-S has been having this problem. Go to start it but it just keeps turning over but wont start. I then noticed that when i turn the key to ON position none of my dash lights turn on like they always do. Any suggestions? Figured it was a fuse but checked the box under the hood and their all good, is there another fuse box?

i'm no pro, but does this sound like ignition switch guys?

welcome to the forum, but unless your car has been swapped, your 99 tl is not a type s

I think there are 3 fuse boxes. I know one is at the end of the dash, driver's side.

while its odd symptoms for a switch failure- we have only heard of them when running and car shuts off momentarily- with loss of dash lights--
so I will agree with the clown on this one'

99s had a recall for the ignition switch back- acura will replace it once then after that you have to follow the DIY here- about 50 bucks at parts store for the electrical part of the switch

They have TL-S in 99 ?

You can check for the starter signal fuse number 13 i think from the inside fuse block, the left side kick panel on the driver side. might as well check all the fuses in there lol. If all looking good then it could be the ignition switch itself.

so i checked all the fuses and none are blown, called the dealership and checked, mine hasn't had the recall done on it so im gonna try that next, bad thing is i gotta tow it 80 miles to the nearest dealership. yayyy thanks guys

acura MAY cover the cost of a tow for you - as it is a recall and you are stuck
CALL customer care 1-800-382 2238 x5 and ask them
calll the service manager at dealer- not the writer- the manager who knows where to look things up
corp is paying the bill for repairs..let them hook you up!

they send the truck- you dont have to do anything
except need a brand new loaner car while they order a switch!!

so i just skipped all the steps of towing it and what not, got the part shipped to me, changed it out in 15 min and shes running like a champ, lady at the dealership said there was another recall so when i take it down there for that one they will reimburse me for the ignition switch.

is the other one the egr port recall for the 99s?
it will run smoother when you get it back!

Glad its fixed! It sucks not having the car...

Did it take the three weeks (between posts) to get it shipped to you?

If I'm reading this right, the starter was functioning, but no fire to the plugs. Weird that the ignition switch will allow the starter to crank, but not allow firing. I guess it's the 'on' position that is faulty, not the 'crank' position on the switch.

WITH THAT BEIN SAID im having the same prob but someone told me it could be my battery ,, i have strobes in my car and still have a stock battery,, but SOMETIMES soon as i shut the car off and try starting it bak up it doesnt start.... i dont even get a tick tick sound .... the key just turns..(with no dash lights action)but it also starts back up with a jump start???... help anyone????

new ignition switch

i would change the batt 1st. if its the original batt iwould replace it. if it still has trouble starting then change the ignition switch...how many miles on it & how long have u owned it &what are the service records tellin u

jdjohn84

Go to an auto parts store and get the battery tested first. Should be a free service.

fsttyms1

sounds like a battery. Bring it to a auto parts store or battery store. They will load test it for you

What part description was exactly shipped to you?
You actually changed it out in 15 min or some mechanic did and you actually did verify him installing the part....just asking ....
