@BruceMobile. Hello Bruce, it looks like I am the last person to make a post in the last 10 months. Here's another post for you. Right after I saw your video, I went out and got to work and I was able to get the wire connected. It was grimy and full of grease and very difficult to reach. I cleaned it the best I could and then fought like crazy to get the wire connected. However, the wire was only part of the issue. Ever since then it's had intermittent starting issues. I thought it had to be the ignition, since the key lock tumbler was damaged and I had to finagle it to get the key out. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I replaced the whole ignition switch, since Acura didn't make the key lock tumbler a separate part of the switch as most vehicles have. Yet, that still didn't fix the starting issue. Sometimes it starts after a couple of tries and other times it's only by luck that it starts. I have opted to replace the starter and so have purchased a new one. I went out today, jacked up the car, an set it up on jack stands. After examining what I am going to have to do to get to the starter, I'm not sure exactly what I will have to remove besides the driver's side drive shaft. Is that all I would have to take off, or are there other parts needing to be removed as well?
@@altheamayberry6142 I believe once you remove the axle you should have enough clearance to access the starter. Also I would inspect the wire connections to the starter. That includes the battery terminals. Ensure they are clean and free of corrosion.
Wow! That really bites! Gotta dismantle the car before you can do anything with the starter. I have a 93 Legend been sitting in my driveway for going on three years now. I'm tired of looking at it. I think a disconnected starter wire is also the problem with my car. For a lady, I'm a pretty good backyard mechanic, but to have to dismantle the thing to get to the starter is crazy.
Just take your time. It would be a shame to let it rot away in the driveway for bad starter. Just have to remove part of exhaust and cv axle and you got it. Definitely check the wire first thing first, hopefully your just came undone like this one. The connector looses clamping force over time.
Wow! You were right. The wire that connects to the solenoid is disconnected. I think I can get to it without taking anything apart, except to remove the front wheel.
