Some Acura RDX owners report experiencing center console power failures that affect various components, including the radio, CD player, information screen, rear camera, and emergency flashers, indicating a significant electrical issue within the vehicle. These power failures may stem from an electrical system malfunction that requires thorough diagnostics to identify the exact cause. Additionally, some owners find that a faulty control unit, such as part number 38320-TX4-A31 in a 2018 model, could be responsible for the issue. In some cases, the problem may lead to battery drain, impacting electrical components even after a battery replacement. Wiring issues or loose connections may also disrupt the power supply to the center console. To resolve these issues, it is advisable for owners to consult a qualified mechanic or dealership service center for a comprehensive inspection of the electrical system, including the control unit and wiring. Repairs or replacements of faulty components may be necessary to restore functionality, and regular maintenance can help prevent future electrical failures.
