[@patpeno9235]

Thank you sooooo much for posting this simple instructive video. I have a 2015 Honda Accord and all of the warning lights came on last night and my car failed to start (I was about 30 mile from my home). Fortunately, after a handful of attempts, the engine started but the warning lights stayed on. This morning soon after following your instructions on displacing the VSA fusible links from the box housing, I noticed that all the fuses were intact but there was debris along the blades. I cleaned off the blades with CRC electrical contact cleaner and placed the VSA fusible links back in its designated slot. All the warning lights ceased to be visible. THANK YOU!!!

[@elchoco22pichardo99]

patpeno I have the same problem in my Honda Accord 2015 exl any help

[@brandonpanduro3839]

Did you guys find the issue

[@kmcintyre007]

Thank you!! I have a 2019 Honda Pilot and the dealership charged me $80 to tell me the issue was a $1200 camera replacement. My fuse wasn’t blown but just taking it out and reinstalling it fixed my problem!

[@Norm100ful]

I have a 2016 Honda pilot AWD Touring. Same problem. All the lights came on at one time and didn’t go off on restart. I removed all of the fuse bars in fuse boxes A and B. None of the fuses were blown. However, after spraying electronic contact cleaner on all of the exposed contacts, I reinstalled and all of the lights went away. I hope this is some kind of a fix. Thank you for your video. Excellent information and probably saved me a bundle of money. By the way, I found that fuse box A was very dirty inside. It appeared that the rubber seal was not installed properly from the factory.

[@Wxsharpe]

2014 MDX here. Same issue and the George method did not fix because no inline fuses blown. So, it's been 9 months with yours, did the problem resolve?

[@TehArtfulDodger]

Same here! We fix a lot of acuras and have these issues sometimes.

[@migueladames2550]

Thanks Man, my wife’s 2015 RDX this morning did this even thou there was no issues yesterday when she used the car. I pulled out the links that you suggested but saw no bad fuses but I turned on the car and no warning lights all gone. Thanks I was nervous because her car was even sputtering and that stopped to.

Thank you very much for the instructions. You saved me a trip to a dealer and a hefty bill. I removed the fuses and none of them was blown.... so they went back. I started the engine and all lights were gone! It looks like like it reset itself. Any way many thanks again. 2010 Acura MDX

[@Wxsharpe]

All MDX owners have had to have this problem, and Acura knows it! I got the same diagnosis from AutoZone. My link is intact.😢

[@azeemsiddiqui5178]

I have 2012 Acura MDX, 130K mileage, last week three lights appeared and four messages like Check Trailer Stability Assist, check VSA, ABS and SH-AWD. I already faced issues in winter when fob key was not opening the door lock, fob has new battery so I knew there is something inside the car and now in normal temperature sometimes lock was working and sometimes not. I called CAA and person checked the battery and said battery and alternator is good but your battery is 6 years old, normal battery life is 3-5 years so it is your choice to change it now or later. I decied to change it now but after that lights and messages were still present, even I checked after 10 hours in the night and still lights and messages were present. Next day in morning, after 24 hours, when I started then all three lights and four messages gone. I was really happy and now everything is working fine. Even I checked the Acura self diagnosis and it didn't show any error, all were green. It was just a weak battery problem but the messages were scary :).

[@dslfjdlglskjfl]

I think you are the greatest in the whole wide world thanks for being there for all of us.

[@Hannibal54689]

Would be good to show how you fixed the fusible link.

[@dericksilva6153]

what caused the fuse to blow though? that's the most important thing to figure out other wise you'll just keep replacing the fuse links which can't be cheap

[@johndeere1951a]

Question is what caused the fuse to blow?? From the accident?? Normally a fuse doesn't blow unless something shorted like a cut/grounded wire/harness. My experience is 47 years with M-B and BMW.

[@PhoneSpecificationsUSA]

Great video. What causes these fusable links to blow in the first place?

[@ajgab63]

Thanks for sharing. Like others, I checked all the fuses in the box, and none were blown. Went to start my car again and my dashboard went back to normal. Thank's George you saved me a trip to the dealer. 2014 Acura MDX

Hi George, thanks so much in sharing on how to fix SHAWD light on, i have exactly the same on my rdx. Can you please let me know where i can get the new fuse? Do i need to get it from acura dealership? Or can i just get it from anywehere? Thanks again! And i did sure subscribe on ur channel looking forward for more of ur helpful videos.

[@mrzbuttaball]

What you do to get them to go off

[@elmecanico4943]

This seems to be typical of honda and acura. All warning lights flash: VSA, ABS, Check Engine, SRS, EPB, etc. Can a weak battery cause this? A bad battery cell? Disrupting all electronic systems, modules and circuits? If the main relay is not blown, can you perform a "hard start"?

[@borospailin]

I have 2002 Acura RL. My vsa light stayed on and I can not reset them. I asked a local technician, he says I have a bad converter for brake system. How do I fix this problem?

[@albfixenit3275]

I have a 2012 acura mdx and the sh- awd light and traction contro light is on. the only code i keep pulling is b1835. i cant find much about this code except that the telescoping steering has a short to ground or something. have you come across this problem? if so any info would be awesome.

[@OveranalyzingEverything]

The abs and vsa lights actually turned off. All i did was take out the fuse and cleaned it a bit, put it back in and the lights turned off. I might replace the fuse eventually since it does seem like it was repaired or replaced before. Granted, this could be a temporary fix for me but worth it. I also checked the codes using a scanner but no codes popped up. Thanks
