Overheating

2007 Acura TSX 150000 miles
My Acura TSX 2007 keeps on overheating. I had a bad water pump, so I got it replaced with a thermostat and got the coolant flushed with new coolant. The car now only gets to H when I'm idle and drops again as I drive, then the same process.

No Start, No crank.

2004 Acura TSX 134000 miles
The car doesn’t start it makes a weird sound, serpentine belt doesn’t move when trying to start neither does the timing belt and camshaft. Also the engine isn’t seized because I can turn the engine over manually through the crankshaft pulley by putting a socket on the bolt. I did replace the starter but it ends up making the same sound.

Dont quote me but you can try to give the comp power either with a power probe and if u can manually start the comp then it can be wiring...if the fuse is good, I think u can unplug the ac comp and check for continuity and see if you have a short to ground. Check charm.li might help

Blinking D and harsh shift

2005 Acura TSX 196000 miles
I have a 05 acura tsx with about 196k miles. I have notice on my cluster that drive select d is blinking along with the D3 and N. At first no check light or hard shift till one day I went to the gas station and came home when reverse into garage the car wouldn't reverse only rpm would shoot up till I turn car off than back on than it would move. After getting the car in the garage is when the hard shift and and check engine light pop up for p0982 that the only code I have received. I did check replace the ground from the chassis to negative terminal due to it coming apart. I also changed the transmission fluid by draing and refilling till I got out the old dirty fluid along with replacing the filter.

That code P0982 check the shift solenoid D, check the harness. Check for power. If u can remove it and inspect/clean if possible. If all checks out u can go to the junkyard and grab a few to test in your car

I had similar issue on my 05 tsx and it was my ballast and igniter. At first I bought a cheap replacement on amazon came with ballast and igniter. I later went on ebay and found used oem in good condition. I also found oem ballast at the junkyard. 04-05 ballast different from 06-08 tsx. Can also be found on TL 04-05 share same ballast as 04-05 tsx.

All brake light bulbs exploded

2008 Acura TSX Acura TSX 257330 miles
I have a 2008 Acura TSX. Its been very cold this winter below zero at night and the other day someone told me that I had no brake lights. I checked the fuses, some were brown on the ends, but the filaments were not broken. I changed the ones that were brown. I changed the brake light switch. When I checked the brake bulbs, all of them were shattered. The glass was white. I should have checked the bulbs first I guess. Anyone have any suggestions before I have to spend a million dollars taking it to Honda?

What was the issue? Having the same problem

Maybe its grounding somewhere. Possible short to ground or a component has failed and is grounding/popping the fuse

Any updates? Does the car crank?? Check terminals for good battery connection. Check for any codes. Get the battery tested. If it cranks normal then it might be something else

I had the same issue all lights came on, the whole dash would go in and out and some times the car would completely die , was told alternator went out, replaced it and it all went away, probably 3 months later the same exact lights came back on but nothing else, car wouldn’t die , dash and tach all still worked , for about another 5 months and just last week all the lights went away and I can’t figure it out lol but I just wanted to give that input since no one else replied on having this same issue hope this helps brother
Bigzenkiii from United States 5 months ago
Scan the car and see what codes you get. Save it and clear codes and see what codes stay and go from there

I turned on my headlights this morning. They were fine. Once I drove about a block, they started flickering off and on, for a few seconds. Then stopped. Then 15 minutes later, on the highway. Folks thought I was signaling them.

I experience the same too when the coolant is low. So go refill your coolant. But then again check if there are any leakages across the AC line
