Yes, especially the colder the weather the less it wants to work for me. But by the time I get to take it for an oil chance or another service it doesn’t annoy me enough to fix it.

OP - did you resolve this?
Mine just went out on me. This switch is a weak point on the RDX being that it's an electrical actuator and not a mechanical link. While unlocking the doors, you should be able to hear the tailgate unlock too. I had to crawl through my back seats and dismantle the tailgate to fix the switch. Not terribly difficult, just a pain.

The window and door actuators on this truck suck. They are always going out on me.

My driver's window was hit by a rock and shattered, sometimes, tge window goes up, then goes back down... Been going on intermittently for the past 2 years now... My rear driver's window would go down by itself when turning on ignition, and then wouldn't go back up... That seems to have resolved itself, replacing parts didn't really help... Early this year, my window cutosey feature wouldn't turn off... Windows would stay active all of the time... The next week, it quit, now windows only work with ignition on, and I no longer have the 10 minute curtosey feature... Oh well...


Driver's front regulator replaced, driver's rear motor and regulator replaced, I think... Driver's window actuator replaced... Acura dealer was replacing good parts for $$$!!! I usually use a Honda dealer out of state, but couldn't then...


When I had the window replaced, I believe they didn't disconnect the battery, thus pissing off the electrical system... Its been screwy since then... Also, after the new parts from Acura, Acura forgot to install the mounting clips on the glass after wirking on it... The window was tilting while rolling up and down... Glass shop that replaced the window installed the clips for us, then ran back to the Honda dealer where we picked it up... Then, the actuator screwed up again, and the door locks kept clicking lock/unlock... It would even lock immediately after opening door... Glass place also scrached my door pull on the panel where it had to be unclipped for removal, damn... Anyway, agreed, the actuator is a bad design!

Wow, with all the problems your having you made me feel better about my RDX. Maybe, you should check out all of your fuses, we do have three fuse boxes.
