1999-2004 Acura RL: Can't open driver's door from either side

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 16:42:25 -0700

I was attempting to replace the driver's outside door handle (snapped clean off, already have the replacement) and had successfully removed the inner panel + window track from inside the door. While I was trying to figure out how to remove the connector attached to the plastic that moves when you pull the outer handle, my door closed and latched, and is now stuck. I had moved a part of the mechanism inside out of place in attempting to clear a path to the handle's screws, and the door will not open from the inside now as the panel is gone (pulling on the cable left behind makes a rather sad clunk but has no effect on the latch). Any way I can get the door open without drilling into the latch (which is the only answer I've found so far)?

Acura CL: Why is water leaking all over the floor when A/C on.

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 23:43:45 -0700

In my 1999 Acura CL 3.0, most of the water from the condenser winds up soaking the carpet in the floorboard. Sometimes when a turn is made you can hear it sloshing around and see it spilling onto the floor. The dealer said the condenser" housing" was cracked. Does that mean the condenser itself is cracked? What is the "housing"?

2000-2006 Acura MDX: 2004 Acura MDX Front AC not working?

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 12:12:15 -0700

This is not the first time I have had this problem. The first time I followed some directions I found on another blog that led me to pull out the transistor assembly and replace a thermal fuse for $.74! Here is a link to the blog I was referring to.

After replacing the thermal fuse the first time the air conditioner went back to working perfectly. About 9 months later the A/C and Heater stopped working again, I purchased another thermal fuse, re-soldered it and when I replaced the assembly the front blower stopped working all together.

I decided to replace the entire transistor assembly for about $70. Here is a link to where I purchased the assembly from.

When I replaced the assembly the blower and the heater started working again but the A/C still is not working.

What's the next piece I should be checking? I really can not afford to spend $500 - $1000 getting my wife's A/C fixed right now. Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you!

1999-2003 Acura TL: I have no air coming through the vents in my car?

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 20:07:35 -0700

My 99 Acura TL has no air coming through the vents? I’ve replaced the blower motor because my connection was a bit melted. I had to splice in a universal connection for power. I also replaced my resister as it also had a burned connection. I blew a fuse first try after installing. Replaced it & tried again. My blower runs, I can hear it & the condenser kick on. But no air comes through my vents??? I was told by Acura it could be the air mix motor or mode motor at $500 each or maybe the filter, there are 2?? Please help a girl trying to learn to fix her own things. I’m stuck in the heat with no AC but I’m not giving up!!

Thanks, T
