Hi guys and gals here I am again with yet another question regarding my 96 Civic. I will go ahead and repost my prior question and sitrep concerning therof so I may as well go ahead and do it,Here 'tis:
Ok here goes,
'96 civic DX 5 speed,I was driving into work this morning and had the wipers on,headlights and defog.My dash lights started (how do I explain this) acting like they were almost blinking like my emergency lights.Headlights were doing the same thing.It was raining out at the time.I kinda think it's my alternator going up on me or the belts are loose.Any thoughts on this?Oh yeah the speedometer was jumping around like a monkey on crystal meth going from 20 to 100 to 30 to ...you get the picture. Thanks in advance, Will
PS I had a prior question about whether my speed sensor or speedometer was going up on me,it WAS the speed sensor.
OK,I went ahead and pulled the alternator(it was a bitch BTW)went ahead and bought a new one and installed it today.I went to go and start it up,when I turned the key no dome lights no click no nuthin'.I went and got my next door neighbor and see if he would give me a jump start tried that,still nuthin.I checked everything.I mean there's only 2 connections to the alternator and I made sure they were good cuz I hooked them up myself.Am I missing something here? Maybe a wire got broken in the process of me dicking around trying to get the alternator outta the engine crate?I dunnno.Guess I'll go back and trace my steps after work tommorow. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,
Will
