Your battery may be weak and it can't hurt to have it tested but a battery heater might be what you need.
Ok cool sounds great...I just tried to crank after it has sit all day and it won't turn over but as before lights come on but won't turn
Not a mechanic just a recend indever with buying a 03 Acura TL s type. 3.2 vortec. (Gotta love them). From most of my friends on YouTube believe that if you take the positive wire to the battery ( the red one ) "there's your sign)... Trace it back to where it is ( comes together with anouther wire) " this wire is the ground wire power. It's heavly corroded ( looks bad has stuff all over it needs to be shinny and clean might would even put just a little deelectric greese) and " that's just mean I really believe in the stuff a little goes along way. Should fix issue. " Seems common issue in acura and all who call there cars hondas. Ext. if this doesn't fix the problem you need to do it anyway cuz Acura makes a decent car but they need to hire good election s. There's a 2 phase motor on the car has to go threw your starter to kick in on it's own if it's not getting proper connection your not completely making connection . Also they have a fast battery drain I would consider every year make and model from anything made by Honda. " This is because they went for some free hands talking for a safer car. " Don't remember name of fuse but if you type in acura battery drain easy find. Hopes this helps someone I'm gonna start buying Acura and hondas got some for sale cheap.. Email me.

Sorry for errors not ground wire but power wire to starter. Trace back to y.... Make a good connection... Pull fuse to hands free talking winner
