Newer Acura battery change - Make sure you jam your brake pedal down as hard as possible when trying to start your vehicle.

Hey guys, I have a 2019 RDX and the infotainment screen was acting up, so I decided to disconnect the negative battery terminal to reset it. I hook it all back up, and now the car won’t start. The engine tries to turn over, but it just won’t start. I then read a suggestion on a Facebook post that when you connect a new battery that you need to jam the brake as hard as you can the first time you start the car. With a tow truck en route, I gave that a try and sure enough the engine started. Didn’t make any sense to me, but that was it. You need to jam the pedal down super hard to complete the circuit.
