1997 Acura RL Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a pin out at Refugio State Beach in Santa Barbara. A 1997 Acura RL that went from "starts fine" to "won't crank" in the span of one beach stop.
The owner had already tried the basics. Wiggle the shifter. Pull the key, reinsert, try again. He was balancing a cooler on one hip while he fished the key out with sandy fingers, like the car owed him one more chance just for effort.
I start with the dash. The green key light on the instrument cluster wasn't doing its normal quick flash and fade. On a Type 1 immobilizer RL, that light tells you the whole story. If it stays on or blinks, the ECU is not seeing a valid transponder ID. That's when I stop blaming other things and look at the key itself.
The plastic head was cracked down one side, and the chip pocket had been flexing every time the key got twisted in the ignition. The Megamos ID13 inside was losing its read position.
I cut a fresh HD106-PT blade to match the original, cloned the transponder data onto the new chip, and ran the boring truth test. Start. Shut down. Start again. One more start. Once it behaved three times in a row, his shoulders dropped about two inches.
He'd already called the dealer before he called me. It sounded like a tow plus a longer wait. Out here, the RL stayed parked and he kept his day at the beach.
