Hoping to get some help. Ive had the battery drain issues now. My bluetooth handsfree has quit working. Dealer unplugged it as they want $1600 to replace. Car has 80k miles on it seems like it shouldn't be bad. Does anybody know where the module is located. I can find info on every other Acura models but not specifically the RLX. Mine is a 14 advance paws model.

Thanks for any help.

 

I hope this helps you:

 

Perfect and that will definitely help.

Thanks

 

I just had that module go bad on my 2007 MDX about 2 months ago. Same issue, it would drain the battery if I went longer than 4 or 5 days without driving the car. I just unplugged mine and all is well. They said it was very common on the MDX. I do find it interesting that it is still an issue on a 2014. You would think it would be designed to not cause a power draw when it fails.

Oh, and this is my first post here. Looking for a 2018 RLX

 

It's the capacitors. I took out my module, removed the board and replaced the SMD caps with modified radial (max ~10.5mm height). Best bet if I were to redo it would be to move from electrolytic to SMD polymer capacitors - reassemble, reinstall. $20 in capacitors and maybe an hour, if you're handy with electronics.
