1999 Acura Problems - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

Hello All:

I have two questions that I wanted to pose to this forum before making a trip to my local Acura Dealer.

#1. My 1999 Acura TL appears to have an electrical drain that causes it not to start after several days of sitting in the garage. I have had the starter and electrical system checked out and all appears well. When sitting in my garage after several days however with a NEW/Charged battery I am unable to start the car. -- Any Ideas or suggestions?

#2. I have a clicking sound in my AC when the car is in gear and coming to a stop. I can feel the clicking around the blower motor (on the passenger side under the glove box). -- Any Ideas or suggestions?

Thanks to anyone that may be able to assist!

#1. Alternators drain batteries as they sit if a diode is popped. Starters batteries not so much.

#2. Its probably the AC compressor clutch engaging and disengaging when you stop and go. Even mine is a tad noisy at times.
