I have a Acura RDX 2009 that is displaying a section of the dashboard backlight. It basically affects the middle section (pics attached) and all the buttons don't have their backlights though all the buttons function well. Have checked the manual but nothing there was helpful. Anyone with a possible solution?

Edit: resolved, in my case it was the fuse

Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by tonwe(f): 8:49pm On May 24, 2021
Good day.
Please I need help. I drive a Toyota Sienna 2006 model. Late December I drove through a very bad road which bashed the sump and thus flattened the gear filter. I wasn't aware until later in the day when my gear stopped switching gears and the car refused to move. I called my mechanic and he fixed the issue then. He straightened the sump, replaced the gear filter and oil. The car started moving but not without some underlying developments.
1. It would suddenly jerk switching gears ( especially in traffic but move smoothly on any free road or express).
2. It wasn't switching to reverse immediately and I have to go to park turn off and on the ignition before I can go into reverse gear.

The mechanic assured me that it the gears would go back to normal after a while. I've been using the car without any serious ish apart from the 2 mentioned above until
Just about 2-3 weeks ago when the gears would take so long to switch. I was practically crawling on the road then after a while it will pick up and the car would go smoothly until I get to a go slow and I've to slow down, then the process starts all over again. Surprisingly, the car started reversing gears.

My mechanic was not around so I called in another recommended by a friend.
He changed the gear filter and oil again ( my car uses a T-IV). Though when he drained the previous oil the oil was very black.
We tested the car that day and it was a smooth drive as if nothing never went wrong with the gears..only for me to take the car out the next day and I the gear was back to not shifting immediately and I started crawling again.
I called the mechanic to lay the complaint and
he said I had to buy a new gear.

Please what's the way forward for me cos the costing I've been given for the gear replacement is bank breaking for me. I don't have that type of money.


N.B. all the work done on the gear was when the gear was left to cool ( actually overnight and both mechanics worked on it the following morning) cry

Hi Cardoctor. I'm having serious issues with my Honda Accord EOD V6. It doesn't go into reverse and overheats unnecessarily. I was told the gear shift needs servicing which I did and the mechanic said I needed to replace the shift. Scanner says ATF malfunction. Help pls. I don't know what to do. I almost got killed today because a truck was coming and the car choose not to reverse at that point.

Toyota Camry (Orobo) 1996 Model, 4 plug, petrol engine used to give me hard starting and my Mechanic said it is not Mechanical problem but Electrical problem because current is not flowing to the spark plugs. How can I resolve it once and for all.

Secondly, I can't leave my car battery connected for more than two hours without draining down completely. I thought my battery is weak, I sold that old one and buy a new Korea battery yet that problem is still there. How can I resolve it? I always open Burnet all the time each time I wanna park the car for long and overnight and it is giving me a concern.

Help me out please.

3. Year of manufacture: 2007
4. Manual or automatic: manual
5. Number of cylinders: 4
6. Diesel or petrol or Hybrid: petrol
7. Issues with the car:

My Civic 08 Japan model has been acting up.

First, you can't start it once and move because the throttle won't respond (electric throttle), expect turning it on severally before the throttle responds.

It is worse these days as the throttle responds will just seize while in motion, rough idle (fluctuates btw 300rpm to 700rpm) and brake and quench.

I scanned and three codes popped up:
1.P2138
2. P2176 (throttle idle position not learned)
3. p0013


Pls, is changing the throttlebody the best solution or fixing?

7. when gearbox is cold it will not move when engaged in drive except

a. i raise the engine several times when engaged and it will move when the oil gets hot that is when the gear will start selecting and all the gear will select properly. this usually results in the jerk when it engages

b i raise the engine and keep the pressure at about 2k rpm or a bit higher for about a minute or less and it softly engages and it will start selecting with no issues.

Small History
The gear oil is leaking. i have serviced and changed the oil/oil filter when it started leaking but the mech doesnt want to decouple the gear to replace the seals because he feels the gear will fall apart and i have to buy another one. i currently use WS oil and i check and top it up cause of the leaks.

what is the best way to resolve this issue.
