#10 of 24 2003 Acura 3.2 TL-S Headlight condensation by alibert Nov 16, 2008 (2:50 pm)
Moisture got into headlight. Dealer said entire unit had to be replaced. Cost $1200+. I think original assembly was fine after inspecting it for cracks, holes. Moisture may have entered from back of headlight assembly from bulb insert location which is usually sealed by gasket after reinserting light. Acura, Stanley (who made light assembly) and dealer told me to take a hike. Any suggestions?   Andre Libert Replies to this message: bodble2 (Nov 19, 2008 6:40 pm) alibert (Nov 20, 2008 4:59 am)

The assembly with working lights came to $1200+. I see nothing wrong with the old assembly and would like to tell the dealer to take it back and give me a refund for it. They can install it in someone else's car at a discounted price.   The real issue is whether they had to use a new assembly at all? If they had just installed the lights which were burned out, and made sure the seals were tight, this would not have occurred.
#14 of 24 Help! 2003 3.2TL electrical problems by voton1066 Jun 28, 2009 (6:25 am)
My car has randomly been idling too high, then overheating (according to the gauge), and when it does so it downshifts real hard when you try to stop. If I cut it off, it's always worked fine again after I start it back up in a bit. It hasn't set off a light or code, and the dealer has never heard of such a thing and thus can't fix it (it won't happen when I'm there). Now the last two mornings the battery's been dead, and I've had the battery checked and there's nothing wrong with it after I jump it off. This obviously makes it an electrical problem, but I don't know what. It's my only car and I need it, but it isn't safe to drive. Please help!

Replying to: tmasker (Jul 01, 2009 10:00 pm) Hi! It was the ignition switch - it was replaced and I've never had any trouble since. Hope this helps!   Moira Replies to this message: tmasker (Jul 02, 2009 6:37 am)

#18 of 24 Re: 2004 Acura TL Center Stop Light [nautique95] by 2tomcats Jul 08, 2009 (2:24 pm)
Replying to: nautique95 (Aug 26, 2008 4:19 pm) Mike: I have the exact same problem on my 2004 TL. When you press the brake, the high mount stop light in the rear window is dim, most of the time. If I start the car, ocassionally I can get it to go full brightness. I did a voltage check and when dim only 7 volts, when bright approx 13 volts. So I know the problem is not the light itself (all 16 LCDs work on bright - ocassionally). Did you find the cause of your problem? Thanks.
