2003 Acura 3.2TL - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

How long does it take to replace a main relay on a 2003 Acura TL type S?

I think you should go for repair manual first. After that you can easily repair your car by yourself.I had visited this site past 2 months before for my vehicle and find it quite helpful may be you will also get something useful here.They offer cheap prices and also discount too Best Manuals

Id definitely check that relay under the hood on the drivers side. All too common when the brights burn out itll take out the relay with it. hopefully that will get you fixed up

Could be a fuse under dash,could be a relay,in engine compartment,could be a faulty wire,would need a voltage/continuity meter to check....takes very low voltage to run a screen ,takes alot more to turn a fan....could also be switch....

Hello Matt Panek, Any chance you have a POLICE chopper following your every move?? Whirring ... Seriously? (might mean you overdosed). Could be a loose fender liner... or maybe a wheel coming off and EVERYTHING in between (wheel bearings or dragging a kid's tricycle). When everything is bolted down, clear and working fine ... there is nothing finer than the freedom of driving your car... But when they start making strange noises... They can be QUITE DEADLY. A part coming loose... or even a plastic bag sucked into an air intake can have fatal consequences if ignored. If you cannot immediately find the cause of a trouble... Muffler shops, mechanics & service stations would love to have you visit... Don't risk SAFETY... when all the FINE FOLKS are just waiting to help (sell lots of things)... Listen to what they are telling you... A loose muffler bracket can save your entire exhaust system if addressed early... but that same MUFFLER CAN KILL PEOPLE in the car behind you if it FALLS OFF at freeway speeds. Be safe... Always check out & resolve NOISES before endangering yourself or others Carnac the Magnificent

These cars are very sensitive to gas that is either remotely old (couple of weeks), outside temperature and/or too low of octane rating. Try some fuel injector cleaner such as Beryman B52 found at Walmart pretty cheap. Put the whole can in with a fresh tank of gas and drive it down to 1/8 tank over normal driving.

Have a diagnostic test done to show what codes come up. That way you won't be guessing and buying wrong parts.

the real problem here is not the amount of ac water on the frame but the salt from frozen roads accumulating at this point and not being readily washed away or neutralized Every vehicle with metal sub frames suffers rust at various points Yes it is dangerous and if the rust is in the body shell as well as the sub frames , there is no cheap fix it is best to consider junking it and for that you have a couple of options you can find a good body shell and sub frame and transferring all of your good gear into it or if the gear is as worn as the body is rusted , junk it and get a later model car

Has bulb blown in trunk or is it something else

1 hour diagnostics, about $70. If it is outside the transmission(wiring) 2 hours labor X shop rate. A bad solenoid add around $100+

how did you know fuel pressure is low?explain

This particular vehicles fuel filter is located in the fuel tank itself! I have a part number from rockauto.com which is where I buy most parts I need! My answer is a solid 100% as I work in the automotive field. BECK/ARNLEY Part # 0433015

In Tank $27.99

There is usually a controller either on the dashboard or steering column whereby you can adjust the brightness of the dash lights.you may be inadvently touching this without realizing .if you don't have the handbook try googling online.

Most probable cause; an electrical connector, probably transmission solenoid shift valve, got disconnected while replacing mounts.

To start make sure you disconnected the battery terminal to prevent air bag blowout.

I have seen some problems with these sensors going bad when hot replace the sensor and the harness. before you condemm the computer.

When you pop fuses like this do not I repeat do not up fuse sizes by pass fuses your creating more work for yourself. Popping fuses like this means there is a direct short to ground some where. You need to check all your wiring on that fuse circuit and components hooked to it for where its grounding out.

Sounds like you have a bad sensor that switches the air flow doors inside the air box when going from heater to defrost..try listening for the movement when switching from heat todefrost and back..if no noise the doors are not opening anf closing...need a professional to check it out..good luck,

Look online, there's acura specific amp bypass male connector harness available! Then get a line output converter for the aftermarket sub and your good to go!

Transmission failure is common.
