2005 Acura TL Lost ability to arm factory security

Can anyone assist/offer guidance on “Anti-Theft” system fuse/relay #?
Suddenly CANNOT get system to “arm”, (nor does panic button sound from remote).
CAN lock/unlock doors inc'l trunk & front hood but NO BEEP; Fobs ARE recognized (both Driver 1 & 2
At "Unlock”, interior lights come ON; Exterior lights DO NOT (neither headlights nor “side” lights flash, as had previously);
Have “Reset” remotes (“Lock&Unlock” pressed simultaneously); Have pulled & reset under-hood fuses and relays.
Would like to self-diag & save some dealer labor if issue is a quirky thing or a "simple fix". Gracias...

Do you know how to retrieve B-Can error codes?

Have you tried pulling the negative cable off of the battery and waiting a few minutes for a reset?

have pulled all under-hood fuses & relays; thought that would accomplish a reset similar to what you're suggesting. I'm I wrong; will battery "kill/reset" accomplish something that hasn't been already? Appreciate the info..

The entire alarm circuit has to be closed for the system to be armed. First thing I would check is if the red led security light is flashing on the driver's door. It flashes approximately every 8 seconds IIRC. My guess is no, which would indicate the circuit is open.

Driver side door/Red led security light NO LONGER flashes, though LED on console (left of CD slot)DOES flash. All 4 passenger doors, trunk & hood close without restriction, firmly and seem tight. Getting no A/B codes nor other from MID which might indicate there is an open "entry". Nothing on MID that might indicate other electrical-type failure. Thoughts on next move? Many thanks in advance of replies
