I just went out for a spin and I was wrong about it being on when the car is on, that's the only time it's off. It's just strange because it looks after market -- everything else is so sleek and this is a black box (tiny) with a light screwed in to the edge of the dash where it curves under and ends. I'd say when you're sitting in the driver's seat, it's mid to upper shin level. I'll call the dealer and ask if they know. Thanks for the reply!

speed sensitive wiper setting

There are two choices on the intermitent wiper setting(speed sensitive and manual). I have tried both settings and don't notice any difference. I assumed the speed sensitive setting was the same as rain sensing wipers I have had on other vechiles. Rain sensing wipers work great and vary the wiper speed according to the amount of rain hitting the windshield. How is the speed sensitive setting on the 07 MDX supposed to function?

Speed sensitive works differently than rain sensitive. With speed sensitive, your wiper speed varies according to the speed of you vehicle. An easy way to notice that is if you come to a stop on a red light, you wipers will slow down to once every few seconds. Once your vehicle increases speed (I think I read over 10 mph in the manual), the wipers will pick up speed.
I would have liked them to be rain sensitive as that would have automatically taken care of the speed - not sure why acura did it this way.

I have a Honda Pilot (am looking into the new MDX) and it makes the same noise, always after refueling with a full fuel tank. It's got to be the gas tank.

That definitely does not sound like standard equipment, can you show us a picture? Anyone else w/ an '07 have this light? Do you have lo-jack or other non-factory alarms?

That looks strange. Did you ask your dealership about it?

That light looks aftermarket installed. Please let us know what it is when you find out. Way too weird!

Thanks, everyone for your input. I called the dealership today. They said they did a dealer trade to get the color/packages I wanted and that the other dealership they got it from puts in an ignition kill system as a standard thing, but that it wouldn't be activated unless I paid for that. Why would a dealership put any more money into a car than they had to? I find that hard to believe, but it's a little late to argue the point and I don't think I can take it out without leaving two little holes.
Why they had to mess with a perfectly fine car, I don't know. Just wished I had questioned it at the point of sale, but honestly I didn't notice it until I got home...
Oh yeah, and I found an empty Hostess doughnut wrapper in the little passenger storage compartment. Nice.

I think I'd at least cut the wires so the useless light doesn't keep staring at you, that'd drive me nuts!
