Car Fix DIY Videos

In this detailed DIY tutorial, I walk you through a full battery replacement on a 2017–2020 Acura MDX, including a 2018 MDX shown in the video. If your dashboard suddenly lights up like a Christmas tree with multiple warning messages, a failing battery is often the cause—especially if it’s the original OEM unit.

This video covers everything from diagnosing the issue, removing the air resonator and battery casing, handling the unique sealed battery enclosure with cooling fan, cleaning mating surfaces, applying dielectric grease, proper battery terminal order, and reinstalling everything correctly. After installation, I also show the results and confirm that the warning lights are cleared.

Perfect for DIYers looking to save money and avoid unnecessary dealer visits.
