Some Acura RL owners report experiencing issues with lights that remain on and cannot be turned off. These problems may involve the daytime running lights (DRL) staying illuminated even after the switch is turned off, as they can operate at a diminished level. In certain models, such as the 2004 RL, the main lights may also stay on, particularly in U.S. versions, along with other lights like door courtesy lights that eventually turn off after a few minutes. To temporarily resolve the issue, some owners consider pulling the fuse to turn off the DRL, although this action may trigger a warning light on the dashboard that some choose to ignore. Additionally, the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) warning light may be related to the lighting issue, and owners are encouraged to troubleshoot this alongside any ABS warning lamp that may need resetting through specific procedures.
