Check blower motor resistor.(final stage controller)

vtm light is not on where is fuse 05 acura mdx

Depends on how you drive, how long you let it warm up, etc. If it was getting say 20 mpg, it would use about 65 gallons to go 1294 miles (2082KM), Do you know how to check your fuel mileage? When you fill up, zero the trip meter, or write down the miles, next time you fill up, get a receipt with gallons (liters) on it and write down the miles, divide it by the number of gallons, this is miles per gallon. 200 miles divided by 10 gallons equals 20MPG . zero the trip odometer again and next tank you can figure it again. I write the miles on my reciepts so anytime I want I can check. Hope this helps.

have your codes cleared and as soon as your light comes back on get it checked right then. usually the first code that pops up is your problem,. and can cause faulse codes to follow. check your mass air flow sensor,. make sure the breather tube is on good and no cracks or tears in it. check fuel filter also hope this helps you in the right direction

notify dealer [loc] code is part of security system call first they can advise how to retrieve radio id code which will be needed

Have the alternator checked to see if it is drawing the system down,also the clocks will do this,they may work fine,but they can draw to many amps,make sure the battery is not the problem,after charging the battery,leave it out for about 4 hours,or over night ,and see if it keeps the charge,and is able to start the car,have the battery load tested to see if the reserve is good and the cold cranking amps are suffieciant.

With out being too familiar with the unique features of the MDX, Is there a satilite radio equioed with the car, if so make sure thats not selected as your " input mode", in other words make sure its set to FM not SATALITE _______ . You could try disconnecting the head unit from the car for a few minutes, generaly you need to do this for AT LEAST 2 min, but maybe longer since most radio heads have a backup batery of some sort. I assume you read your owners manuel and there is nothing in there regarding this, other option, call an acura dealership and speak with a person in Service, there usually willing to talk on the phone for a few and let you know what the quick/or not so quick fix is. good luck.

Generally the dealer is your best bet. The better ones will give it to you for free. There are web pages you can locate that for a fee will give you the code. The will need your VIN and/or the radio serial number

Sounds like a bad install and the wiring might be crossed. But as they stated, without schematics, it's hard to know which wire is which. Acura should cooperated if the Honda dealer is authorized. Mention "small claims court" and see how fast they cooperate. BTW, the MDX and Pilot share alot of the schematics. i don't know why Honda can't play with it. I believe they don't want the liability.

First service tranny ( change fluid and replace filter) go to autozone for your parts.

install a relay from the ignition switch to the headlights so when ignition switch is ON the relay is activated which activates the Light switch or just straight to the Headlights

Im not quite sure about the lights but when changing the alternator the battery cables would have been off resetting the settings in the engine computer. let it run for a little bit to get readjusted and it should idle down on its own and be fine.

Very easy. Stickers are in the glove box on the side. One for navigation and one for stereo. Just did it myself.

the tmv (true market value) used by dealers- base vehicle in good cond w/under 90,000 is about $ 7,900 this car has double the miles and you would know the condition and options--
