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

1996-1998 Acura TL: Cigarette lighter stopped working!

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 10:14:43 -0700

Good evening community.

I'm the proud owner of a 1998 acura tl 3.2v6. I do a lot of tinkering with my baby boy, and yesterday I was using the air compressor which plugs in to the cigarette lighter, as I normally do, and it just stopped. I plugged my cell charger in it see if it was the fuse in the compressor, but the charging light didn't come on either. I checked the kick panel fuse box, and low and behold, there's no fuse for the cig lighter! I checked the radio fuse(good), and I checked the interior light fuse(good). I even checked the fuses under the Hood in the relay box, all good! I've searched for an answer, and I keep seeing: cig lighter fuse, but this car doesn't have one! Does anybody know anything I should try?

Acura TL: Acura TL 2009 Instrument panel and Audio HVAC display system.

Thu, 08 Aug 2019 17:45:50 -0700

Acura TL 2009 The brightness of the Audio HVAC display unit can’t be adjusted. The brightness of the instrument panel works fine . Both of these components work off the same brightness controller. I purchased a new controller but to no avail . Since I can’t adjust the brightness, on sunny days there is glare on the Audio HVAC display unit , therefore I can’t see the writing in the display unit.
