the ground wire is connected to everything , and the negative on the battery . the whole care is the ground ,

Wiring schematics are your best friend at this point. Locate the ground circuit for the stereo (first on the schematic, then physically on the vehicle). For a component to receive "partial power" but not function as intended, the ground circuit is the best place to look. A corroded ground or a splice or crack in the ground wire should be the cause of your problem.

If its a manual transmission, I would say its your clutch. If your car is an automatic, I would say its your transmission, or possibly you need to add transmission fluid to your car.

Get a long shank screw driver and place it on the starter. While a friend attempts to start the car, tap the handle of the screw driver with a ball pin hammer. Sounds like the pin is catching upon deployment. Eventually your going to need to replace the solenoid and the starter.

This light will be telling you that you have a fault in the braking system of you car. Low fluid level or loss of fluid in one of the brake circuits. I suggest you have it checked out at a brake shop before you run out of brakes.

I HAVE AN 04 ACURA RSX 2.0LV-TECH, AND IVE REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT ITS STILL ACTING LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND ITS SLUGGISH TO TURN OVER. IM LEANING TOWARDS THE STARTER BUT WOULD LIKE A SECOND OPINION.

Test both the cooling fan relay and the fuse (located under the hood and inside the control module box).For the inop blower fan, test the switch if the fuse checks out.

Check the fuse, then the relay(s). Both are located in the engine compartment inside the control module box.

Auto parts stores can pull the code and you can find a lidt of codes at actron.com.

Auto parts stores have test equipment and after you receive code, actron.com has a list of fault codes listed,

i dont have an accura, but if you have a service manual like Haynes, etc. it has a listing of codes and what they mean. it is in the chapter on Emissions and engine control systems. You can just go to auto parts store and look at the book there, or purchase the book for your car. I always buy one for any vehicle i have, they come in handy. I use mine often. I see this was posted in september so you have probably had it fixed by now. But in case you havent maybe this will help.
