Hood Stuck/Won't Open? How to Replace Hood Release Cable - 2002 Acura TL-S

[@michaelguante4102]

Just found your channel, and I have a 2003 tl type s 155k and you gave me a lot of hope with keeping my car for the long run, I was iffy w keeping my car but ik w your videos you will help me keep this car and tranny for years to come. Looking forward to you making videos on the suspension side of this vehicle!

Im glad you like my videos! These are fantastic cars! So far I’ve made a video on replacing the struts and the sway bar end links! More suspension related info could also be found in my wheel bearing video as well. Just keep up with those ATF changes every 15k miles and this cars will treat you good!

Love these videos man👍🏽keep up the good work. You helped me fix acouple things on my tl. Can you do a video on how to change the lock solenoid, my car wont shift into park, everything else works.

[@CarRepairsMadeSimple]

Thanks for the support! Glad my videos have been helpful! I could certainly try! Might be a little bit before I could get to it though. Perhaps my other video could be helpful in the meantime? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKiaXqmhosuebqs This will show you how to get to the solenoid, located on the passenger side of the shifter I believe. Then you just take the old solenoid out, transfer the clamp, spring, and plunger to the new one, and reinstall. Let me know if you need more assistance!

Hi. It's me again lol. I'm wondering if you've ever had this problem or know what a possible solution is. My passenger window wont go up or down. Replaced regulator and motor, both work. The switch is good. All fuses and relays are good. I'm stumped. Thanks

[@CarRepairsMadeSimple]

Perhaps the master window switch on the front driver door is flipped off? My next guess is there’s a wiring or connector problem preventing power from reaching the door in the first place. Lastly, maybe the window guides are so dirty that the window physically can’t slide and the channels need to be greased with a silicone lube.

Do you know how to locate the hood latch sensor/connector? I am trying to disable/unplug it in hopes that my car alarm stops going off randomly.

[@850CANE]

Hey brother. Hope all is well. How many miles do you have on your TL now?! I have 209,000 and you also have given me hope. I followed your instructions and did the tranny fluid change and immediately noticed smoother shifts. Thanks again brother

[@CarRepairsMadeSimple]

I have 328,000 miles! Yeah keeping up with the transmission fluid is probably the most important with these cars. You do that and it should last you a long time. I’m glad my videos have been helpful! Thanks for watching!

@@CarRepairsMadeSimple holy cow! Definitely getting your money's worth! I baby mine now. Drive like an old lady

@@CarRepairsMadeSimple I know this is a vague question but I'm leaking power steering fluid. It's not from the crimp on the high pressure line. It looks like there's fluid on the engine below where the power steering pump attaches to the engine. I haven't had an opportunity to remove the engine cover and investigate further due to work. Is there a gasket or something that could be the culprit or is it my power steering pump failing somehow? It's not growling or whining when I turn the wheel. Thanks for any info.

[@CarRepairsMadeSimple]

@@850CANE it’s hard to say. Luckily there aren’t too many components involved in the power steering system. Here’s a diagram: www.acurapartsforless.com/v-2002-acura-tl--type-s--3-2l-v6-gas/chassis--p-s-hoses-pipes-type-s There is an inlet o-ring and a rubber inlet hose as shown in my “noisy power steering” video, as well as another o-ring shown in my “leaking power steering” video that do go bad over time and could also potentially cause leaks. Perhaps look into that as well as any other old, cracked, or corroded metal/rubber lines as shown in the diagram.

what’s up just got a 2002 acura tl type s , been seeing a lot of people have issues with the transmission ? i found out you can only use a certain honda genuine one but i was wondering on how i would go about changing the oil for possibly it’s first time ? drain and fill ? or ?

[@bryanrosales5003]

[@CarRepairsMadeSimple]

Thank you! Idk if you saw but I do have a video on how to change the ATF. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZu8h3dojKilea8 Let me know in that videos comment section if you have any more questions after watching the video and don’t forget to read the description for more info as well
