Newly Acquired 04 TL with wired problems

Hi all,

First of all, I'm very pleased that a community like this exists for people who own these impressive rides. I just got mine black on black 2004 TL today. I went to the dealer, test-drove, and made my decision right away.

The car handles like a dream, but I'm experiencing several problems that I didn't even think to check before settling with the dealer:

1. The 6-cd system does not play cds at all. The radio works fine, the disc slot eats and spits cds just fine, the cd-switching works fine, but it just won't play any cd (burned cd in mp3, burned in standard format in Roxio, legit store-bought cd). I searched all over the net and it seems like its a common problem with no definitive answer.

2. The wind shield sprayer does not work. I checked the washer fluid, which is full. There is no sound when I pull the handle.

3. This is the most random one. The motors that adjust the mirrors don't work. When I push the control pad, the motors work for 'right' and 'down' directions, but nothing happens when I push 'left' or 'up'. This is the case for both mirrors, so it seems like it is an electronic/control problem rather than a motor malfunction.

Sorry about bombarding you guys with questions. I love the car and all, but I'm just really bothered by these annoying problems that I discovered after driving it off the lot. Stereo, mirrors, and windshield sprayers. And I was concerned with the miles on the car.

If this post doesn't belong here, please move it to the appropriate section.

Thanks.

try checking the fuses... and if the fuses look fine, i would say go confront it with the dealer you purchased the car from.

It wasn't an Acura dealership. I got it from a small auto trader.

Mirrors and washers are due to a fuse. Sounds strange but one fuse powers both the washer motor and the power mirrror control unit. If you cant figure it out let me know.
