ttt need to find this post. i know someone remembers it. it was about the obd2 car converting to obd1 and it made the lights dim and get brighter at certain rpm. someone found out that all you had to do was cut a wire..?????

Yup, that was me , i was first person who figured that out. you simply disconnect the alt c wire.

Mine is doing this right now among other things, I thought it was a bad ground but they all checked out. What wire is alt C? Can you go in further detail for me?

Re: who post about obd2-obd1 conversion lights dimming problem (jerseykid609)
it has something to do w/ the ELD. for some reason the ecu turns on and off the alternator. before you were able to disable the ELD within the hondata software, i used to have stage 2 (before s200 was out) and i figured out if i disconnected the alt c wire, it got rid of this problem. now its easier to just choose the "disable ELD" option in the romeditor. but if you dont have access to do so, just disconnect the alt c wire, and it SHOULD fix the problem.
no promises though, be careful messing w/ the wiring, if you dont know what the hell you're doing, you can screw **** up quick

Re: who post about obd2-obd1 conversion lights dimming problem (hybridb18)
sorry to be an idiot but just to make sure I dont do anything wrong... I have a 96 ex with the stock harness converted to obd1 using a "chipped p28". Do I cut a19 off the stock obd2 harness or a16 off the obd1 conversion to the ECU??

A19 off of the stock harness, I would not cut it, Just take the pin out of the plug, you might ned it again.
