Hey guys,

So over the past couple days I've had some issues when starting up the car, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I notice that my car has no power at all, but if I wait a minute the power comes back and I can start the car. The radio and clock are reset each time this happens. Do you think its a battery issue or a wiring issue? Any help is appreciated.

 

Could be as simple as a loose or corroded battery connection. Loosen and retighten (and clean if necessary) both of your battery connections. Don't just tug on them and assume they're good.

If it's not the OEM battery, the posts may not have a good fit with the cable connectors. This happened to me when I put in a DieHard battery.

If that doesn't help, take it and have the battery and charging system tested. Several places will do it for free. If it's a bad OEM battery with less than 48 months on it, Acura will replace it for free. If it has more than 48 but less than 100 months, they'll prorate it.
