Just my front ac stopped working, back works fine. Just a fuse? Something else?

Any chance it's just the resistor?

Both the keyless remotes of my '17 Accord won't auto start the car as well as the lights don't flash when unlocking or locking the car although the doors do lock/unlock and the truck as well the alarm buttons all work.
I already checked on the settings in my car and everything seems right.
Just randomly stopped working

I tried a new battery just in case but most of the remote features are working so doesn't make sense it's the battery.
Also both remotes have same issue.
Also the car usually tells when batteries are low

Check your hood/trunk latch switch.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

If it is the trunk latch switch the idiot light will be lit on the dash. There is no idiot light for hood latch switch.

What causes the brakes to make noises when releasing your foot from them? Sounds like a Hinge that needs to be oiled.
Sounds like ehh eh ehhh eh.

Steering wheel makes noises when turning the wheel while driving at low speeds. (Full turns, when pulling our of a spot and such speeds) tie rods?

It is normally when applying the brakes but can also be when releasing them, disk brake wear indicator?
