05 TL: Loosing power every morning

Hi all.. this is my first post on acurazine.. I've been following the forum for a while but haven't really posted anything yet. Haven't had the need to.. until now..

To get to my issue.. for the past couple of days, my 05 TL has been loosing it's power every morning. I have a non-factory starter and alarm installed on it. When i try to start the car in the morning, it doesn't do anything. I can't even unlock the doors with the remote. Once i open the door with the key and start the car, everything starts working again. My clock and trip meters get reset every time, but everything else seems to be working fine. I tried reproducing the issue during the day, and wasn't able to. I even brought the car to Acura, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it either. They said if it doesn't happen all the time, they can't say what's wrong with it..

Any ideas why it would do this? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Possible HFL issue. After you get the new battery and it's still having the problem check this:

Hey.. I read the referenced service bulletin.. but it states there that it only applies to 2007–08 TL. Would this somehow apply to my 05 as well?

It's probably your battery, but just in case it's not. Anything is possible.
