Very Upset Tl Wont Start
So I just purchased my TL used and everything was fine. Today I got ambitious and I set my homelink for my garage door opener. Took me a few tries because I had the variable code. After this I tried strarting the car and I see 2 immediate problems 1) Car won't start 2) Navigation Screen goes to the Picture and then it flashes and goes right back to the picture. After a few more tries to start Navi and radio don't turn on now either.
Called Acura and this is what they said: 1) They have no clue whats going on. 2) They asked me if I had the Navigation running for a while without the engine on- I said yes for maybe 10-15 minutes.
The car makes no engine noise when trying to start. And it has the click as though the battery is dying/dead.
So what are my options? Jump start the car? Tow it to Acura?
I read a bunch of posts with had starts. Don't know what to do right now. oh yea i washed the car too. water in engine?

Jump it don't tow it....................a tow would run you the price of a new battery if not more.
Get a Optima Red Top if you want to leave the navi on while the car is off.

Sign into Owner Link and it should have your radio code on there. Also, I believe it should be in your owner's manual as well.

I can't say here what I would have told them. I'd get banned. Call Acura.
