I have a 2005 TL. I recently had a dead battery and purchased a new one. Prior to purchasing the new battery I jump started the car with our SUV which uses a more powerful battery. It is possible that of the three times that I jump started the car, the last time I attempted to do so, that I may have reversed the cables, (positive and negative). I say this because when I hooked up the cables the SUV alarm went off ( which it did not do with the previous starts) and I was getting a lot of sparking that i did not experience previously. The next day I went back to the place where I bought the battery. The were very gracious and gave me a new battery of a higher quality. I was very excited thinking that it was all now going to work fine. When I got home and installed the new battery I was disappointed to find that none of the dashboard lights went on and there was no power to the car at all. The bottom line is that the car would not turn over. The Acura does have a host of fuses in the under hood fuse box as well as the fuse box in the interior of the car that are there to protect the circuitry. My question is which fuse would be the one i would look for to be blown if in fact that is the problem?https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif

 

if you did reverse the cables, you would have blown the fuse under the hood. its a special one that you need to get at dealer. the fuse is there specifically for this situation
