Top 20 2000 Acura TL Questions & Answers

I would get online and check some of the Acura discussion boards as there particular things related to different manufacturers/models/years that can happen if you just disconnect the wiring harnesses and pull the seats. If you want to be safe, disconnect the battery before you disconnect any wiring harnesses going to the seats as the car may take a break in the connection as a problem with the airbag seat sensor and throw a check light error if you don't ( BMWs do this...ask me how I know ! )

If nothing happens when you turn the key, the starter doesn't even try to turn over, then you may have a faulty connection on a wire near the engine that loses connectivity when the insulation is earned up and softened. The connection is reestablished when the wire cools and firms up. You will not be able to visually see the damage as it is covered by insulation. To locate the short, test each wire with an omh meter while the engine is warm. Does the engine warm up and then die while running? Or will it not restart once you kill the ignition while the engine is warm? If it dies while running, then you have a faulty ground wire. Try Replacing the ground wires from the battery to the chassis and the one from the engine to the chassis. Will take about an hour of your time and somewhere around $10. Don't run all your ground from the same connection.

If it's just the display you can purchase a replacement screen. Search 2000 acura tl navigation screen or Navigation Display on ebay. you'll find plenty of them there.

Helpfull hint... before you install your new replacement screen, be sure and write down the serial number of the unit, which is printed on the back side of the assembly. You just might need it some time in the future (like when you need it to retrieve a code from Acura USA, to make your radio and nav unit work after disconnecting the battery) https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7PPyaN2fs30 If your screen is ok, but your nav unit is broken, you can buy one of those on eBay as well... a lot easier to install... open the trunk, remove two cables, and four screws, and replace.

it sounds as if the locking latch on the rear panel has been distorted with the heavy load, smother the lock on the trunk with grease and gently lower down and see where the grease leaves a mark , this way you can see where the latch on the rear panel should be , both the lock on the trunk and the latch on the rear panel have some adjustment so you will have to adjust both until they line up again
