I have a 2008 Acura TL. In the last 2 weeks since I had my brake pads and rotors changed I noticed I needed to enter the password for the Navigation system and didn't think anything of it. When I tried to start my car 2 days ago the engine would not turn and I needed to call AAA for jump after which it started. I needed to get a jump again today to start the car. I replaced my battery 6 months ago at Autozone and went back today and they checked the battery which came back at 100% and the alternator is working fine. Any idea's on what could be happening? I had similar problems with the car in 2010 and the dealer indicated it was because of the blue tooth unit which they disconnected. Thanks in advance!

 

without inspecting the car myself, it sounds like the battery terminals are either corroded or just plain loose.
make sure battery terminal cables are on tight and clean

 

Sounds like there's something else potentially draining the battery now.

 

Are you sure the Hands Free Link is disconnected? It's been known to drain the battery.

 

HFL!
Dissconnect that sh!t

 

I'm having the same issue with my 06 TL. I have changed out the battery cables and the my car started right up. The next morning after sitting overnight it would start and I had to jump start it. Would it be best for me to disconnect the HFL? This issue has been going on for about two weeks now. HELP!!!

 

um..

YES

 

try!

 

As other's have suggested, pull the HFL. If that solves your problem, you have two options, leave the HFL out of your car, or, if you really like/need it (I do), then buy a new HFL unit.

 

All good info above. I've actually had my HFL die and I replaced it myself (instead of sending it to the guy who can repair them...in one of the Forum posts). But beyond that, I'll give you another thing to consider.
My 05 TL 6MT was starting like it had a dying battery 2 weeks ago. It was about a year old so I took it to the auto parts store and had them do a free battery check. Interestingly, they said it needed to be replaced so they installed a brand new one under warranty free of charge. But the car was still starting "sluggishly". My local shop thought it was the starter so I bought a new Honda starter and had the shop install it ($299 for the new starter + $150 for the shop to install....over $150 than the dealer was going to charge) and now the car starts quickly as it should.

 

Trying to buy a starter at acuraoemparts.com, but I dont know if I need the starter core and assembly or just one of them.

 

You'll want the whole assembly unless you plan on rebuilding it yourself
