So i drove my car today no problem it sat for like 2 hours went to go start it again and nothing...... some dash light came on but went to start and not even a chug. tried Jump starting it and nothing. Took the battery to autozone said the battery was fine. took it back home and put it back on and nothing. No lights, no power, i cant even use the alarm. Had a tow truck come get it and take it to a shop. I just got it back from the body shop so they said they would cover what ever was wrong with it. EVER HEARD OF THIS!!!! (and i checked all the fuses to with a meter and they all fine.) Im thinking its probally a ecu or some kind of computer problem. any thoughts????

 

Believe it or not !!.. I had the same problem today. It was working fine yesterday. Today morning, i turn the ignition key and hear sparking sounds and the electronics acting funky, car just won't start...it's at the dealer right now. they checked the battery and thats fine...I have a 05 TL btw

 

I had this happen a few weeks ago but it was the starter then a week later wouldn't work again and it was the battery - two tows within 7 days of each other - now it's in the shop for no AC. Will never buy another Acura

 

I bet it was the battery all along and the shop mis-diagnosed it. As far as not buying another acura, that's your choice, but I would suggest that it not put a bad taste in your mouth, acura fixed the problem and towed it to the dealer for free. If you feel that wasn't enough, call acura client services and tell them, they will file a record and may give you free stuff, like free oil changes, etc.

 

No the first time it was the starter as they first replaced the battery and it still didn't work

 

it could be a loose battery terminal,mine was doing the same thing replaced terminal,problem solved. 04 tl at

 

Shop called back it was a bad ground to the battery, believe it or not the battery gets grounded in two places, to the right of it (to the frame and there is another spot that runs underneath the Battery case or spot where the battery sits. Body shop stood behind it NO COST TO ME!!!!!!
