Expert Answers about Acura RDX


  • Replacement Hitch Pin Installation Problem for My XC2 # S64650 Bike Rack
  • I have ran into this situation a couple of times. The hitch pin, # S64029, is the correct hitch pin for the Swagman XC, # S64650, bike rack. Sometimes manufacturing tolerances are not quite the same on the replacement hitch pin and you will need to use a wrench to slowly thread the hitch pin in and out a few times to get the threads to match up perfectly. Start by applying some oil, then threading the new hitch pin in until you feel resistance. Back the hitch pin out a bit and thread...

  • Bolts Won't Thread on Curt Hitch of 2017 Acura RDX
  • I do have suggestions if the bolts won't thread when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13130 on your 2017 Acura RDX. What you can do is use a thread tap, a size M12 x 1.25 to fit the same size bolts.

  • Boat Trailer Coupler Became Disconnected from Ball on 2014 Acura RDX
  • Check the trailer coupler to see if it is meant to take a 2-5/16 inch ball. If so then the 2 inch ball you have will not be large enough and this issue could keep happening. If it does take a 2 inch ball then either the coupler was not fully secured or something needs to be adjusted with the coupler. Most couplers will have a nut to tighten or loosen that is accessible on the bottom. On some vehicles there is a specific distance the ball has to be from the rear axle of the tow vehicle....

What I believed may have happened is something may have become loose when the harness was installed and that is what is causing your warning system to be quiet.

  • No Power on Trailer Wiring Harness Green Wire on a 2015 Acura RDX
  • To properly test a converter box, you will first need to test the wires going into the converter box from the vehicle using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993. If there is no power on the green input wire, then the issue is with the vehicle. Your 2015 Acura RDX may require an additional fuse or relay to make everything fully functional. It looks like under the hood there is a fuse in location 26 that the owner's manual just calls trailer. If there is power on the input wires when there...

  • Trailer Lights Not Working on a 2007 Acura RDX with Wiring Harness # 118500 Installed
  • First make sure that both the in line fuse (red) and the mini fuse (blue) are both installed. Otherwise the harness will not work. I know that the instructions say to install the fuse for the Honda Crosstour but it is also possible that it is needed on your RDX. Check the fuse location and determine if the fuse is missing or needs to be replaced. Also, make sure that the adapter you are using is grounded to the vehicle frame in a location that is bare metal. If cannot be grounded to a...

For your application you'll need to have a shop help you out with a solution because of the OEM internal weld nuts that the hardware connects to. You can have them either find a way to use matching nuts on the inside of the frame or they will need to weld the hitch to the frame of your vehicle. If your hitch installed...

  • Troubleshooting Right Blinker Circuit of Curt Wiring Harness for 2014 Acura RDX Not Active
  • You've done a great job so far troubleshooting the Curt trailer wiring harness part # 56008 that you have on your 2014 Acura RDX. The next thing you should do is test for voltage on the green wire that feeds into the converter box of the kit. If there's voltage there that would indicate that the box is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new kit. If there isn't voltage there it could be a connection issue with the blue wire connector of the kit. Sometimes just unplugging and plugging...

  • Removing Locks On A RockyMounts Bike Rack Without The Keys
  • That is a tricky one. It might be possible to get you a replacement key for your RockyMounts BackStage # RKY10002. We would need to know the key number. This can be found usually on the key itself, or on the face of the lock core. RockyMounts key numbers usually start with the letter E, followed by 3 digits. Other than that, there is no way to get it unlocked without keys. This is by design. Otherwise what good is the lock you know? In some cases we have removed lock cores by drilling...
