Are you sure it's not just the red LED that is out? Roll the drivers side window down, get out, shut the door, lock the car w/ the fob and then lift up the lock, if the horn goes off, then it is just the light. Does the panic button set off the alarm?

I figured it out. The back passenger door behind the driver will only lock or unlock manually. The power lock on the keyless entry control nor the power lock on the driver/passenger door will lock or unlock that back door. Once I manually lock it the alarm beeps, sets and the red light flashes. The door lock on the passenger door must have a short, and I do not see a specific fuse for that door? Any fix suggestions or am I looking at having to take into a Acura or better yet a Honda dealer? Please help.
Also, thanks for the reply Upstatedoc.

Replace Broken Passenger Side Window

My passenger side window was broken and during the replacement the Acura dealership left glass in the door. When we returned the vehicle to have the glass removed the dealership claimed they did not have a vacuum that could reach the bottom of the door and that they'd have to enlarge the drainage hole my drilling the door to remove the left over glass. Does this seem correct?

No. I had my driver side door broken into and the window replacement company did no such thing. Drilling holes in your door will create possible places for rust to develop. If the Acura dealer wants to do this, then you need to ask them to talk to Acura HQ. They need better vacuuming tools and patience in continually shaking and knocking on the door to jar loose the glass fragments so that they can settle down to the drainage holes and removed.

Just happened to be visiting this forum - I see the problems continue to mount for the MDX. Seems Acura's are having more issues than the domestics these days. At any rate, to answer your question I couldn't stand my 07 MDX any more and got rid of it. Now have an 09 Honda Pilot Touring Edition and no issues so far. Go figure the cheaper cousin is more trouble free and a ton less expensive!

Engine RPM

I have a gauge/dial on the dash which indicates RPM X 1000 on my 2002 Acura MDX. The pointer normally pointed to 2 when the engine was running. I have recently noticed that it points to 1 or lower when the engine is running, though it jumps to 2 and over when I press the gas pedal or accelerate and quickly falls back to 1. The car runs fine, but at lower speeds I feel the engine vibrate once in a while. What does this indicate. Appreciate your guidance.

Problem fix - Went all the way to the Acura Tech Center. Transmission cable acts as a sound tube directing the transmission noise into the interior. New cable and proper adjustments solved the problem. Wonderful car. Covered under warranty. Good luck!

Thanks Topoff, and I am glad your problem is fixed. Can you please send me the URL for the Acura Tech Center and tech # (if one exists). That way I am better informed when I discuss this with the dealer.

The dealer did the leg work - at first it looked like a transmission issue - pump etc. The dealership needs to call the tech center prior to doing major work to ensure warranty coverage.
