Try it on the other side to see if it is the light or the socket that is the problem. If it's the socket, make sure the ground is working. Use a voltmeter to see if you have power at the contact point. Think of it as having fun. You'll get it.

Many cars set this lamp as a result of reaching a certain number of miles that clock in on the odometer. It usually means you've reached a particular service interval - often a "major" one.. Other times, it can be the result of detecting a malfunctioning sub-system or sensor that needs attention. Your mechanic (possible autoparts store) can usually scan the computer to determine exactly what the cause is.

Acura 3 5RL Trouble Code Info Basically your whole engine is misfiring. BUT!! IS it running rough? What is it doing? I would replace your spark plugs first and check the gap. Clean your EGR valve and the hose running to it. One of those codes is about your EGR valve. Check out the first link I posted in this to see what your codes mean. If this doesn't fix it, you may have a coil problem . You can pick those up at a junk yard pretty cheaply. When you check the coils, make sure there is no gap in the stick. Half way up you will see a small skinny seam. It should be almost imperceptible if they are good. Also, there is this handy dandy sensor: Called a Ignition Misfire Sensor. I wonder if yours is bad?http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1000966,parttype,10767 1996 ACURA RL Ignition Misfire Sensor <<<these are coils. Half way up the stick you may see that seam I was telling you about. So, make sure you get the tightest gap you can if you go that route.

If the rack itself is leaking, usually fluid is coming out of the bellows, because the shaft seals are leaking. These can be resealed, but finding a shop with the ability outside an Acura dealer might be hard. Rebuilt racks are available thru Acura and aftermarket, I found 1 for $486.95. Look around you may find something more reasonable. This will require an alignment, you may have to replace 1 or both tie rod ends. Make sure your RL is in condition to do an alignment so you don't get any surprises. On a vehicle this old, if it hasn't been done, the return line hose from the reservoir to the pump should be replaced. Make sure all the hoses are inspected and good.

If it is leaking from the rack, replace or re-seal the rack.

Which door? The motors fail, the rear doors have wire harnesses that break

Most likely your cv (drive) axle. Check to see if the boot is torn, which lets out most of the grease and lets in debris and water. Replace if so, I recommend buying new (not rebuilt), the price difference isn't much if you shop around. Putting a new boot on isn't going to get rid of the noise.

take the vin no. to your local honda dealer. they should be able to get you the code.
