Question: 2004 Acura MDX 6 cyl four wheel drive Automatic 65,000 miles. I've found three, one side panel drivers side, the other side panel passengers side, and one under the hood. I was told that there is five of them, and I am looking for the one for the CD, Tape player. THX Again

Answer:   they are supported by several fuses, under the hood, fuse 48; driver side, fuse 8;passenger side, fuse 9 if you have a factory dvd player installed its fuse 4 in under hood sub fuse box. there's another fuse box in the left rear of the car but its not related to your current problem

Question: 2003 Acura MDX 6 cyl all wheel drive Automatic 54,000 miles Hello, my well maintained Acura MDX 03' recently traveled through Canada and the Yukon Territory. Although my manual states 91 octane minimum, I was forced to use whatever was available through these very remote, areas... (unleaded with who knows what in it). Prior to the drive I got 17 -18MPG city driving, now the best I ever see on my trip computer is 11/12MPG. I am driving in colder conditions (30F), but I can't imagine the cold air alone is the cause for a 33% reduction in fuel economy! I took it into the dealership who scuffed at me when I mentioned it might be fouling of spark plugs, and told me 12MPG sounds about right. (Not according to my manual). My manual did mention something about using gas in Canada and negative side affects. I have no knocking sounds. I have had the air filter replaced, what else can it be? What can I have looked at when I take it in? Also, where I live, the best gas I can get is 90 octane, not 91, is this ok?

Answer: There is no real reason to have to use super unleaded fuel with computer engine management, not on an SUV anyway. Air pressure correct in the tires? makes a big difference. Try replacing the fuel filter and put a full load of super in it to see if the mileage changes.

Question: I just purchased a 2002 Acura MDX with 55,000 miles. I love the car however, my car vibrates at 25 mph. If I take off fast (0-40mph) it won't vibrate very strange?? while driving in residential areas I can bet my life that my car will vibrate, it last as long as I'm doing 25mph - it stops when I hit 30mph. Help me please...

Answer:  its sounds like you have a front axle cv joint problem or a tire that is coming apart, these problems aren't expensive about 200.00 for the axle and 70 for a tire. Please check it out and get back to me.

Question: I have a 2001 Acura mdx 83K miles and the "srs" light came on and gradually all of the controls on my steering wheel stopped working. First the cruise control, then the radio controls and now the horn? Any suggestions as to what might be the problem?? Thanks Charles

Answer: Sounds like the "clock spring" has gone bad. that is the contact plate between the steering wheel and the column .

Question: Acura MDX 04. 46,000mls. V6. When I bought this vehicle used, it pulled slightly left. We thought it was an alignment issue. However, after the alignment, there was no improvement. Now dealer says there must be a 'radial pull' in one of the tires. What does this mean? What do you recommend I do? How much should it cost to repair? I'll be happy to make a donation if you can give me some guidance. Thanks. -Matt

Answer: Have you rotated the tires since you got the vehicle? I recommend that prior to saying replacement of tires. That way you can possibly forgo the tire replacement if it does not solve the issue. Another line of thinking is that a brake on that side could be hanging a bit.
