93 accord electrical - alternator issues?
It seems like my wipers are working in slow motion. Then it seemed like the dashboard lights weren't quite as bright.
I had the a/c on and while sitting at the traffic light, brake pedal pressed, a/c on, radio on, lights on, the tachometer just dropped to zero. Then when I put the turn signal on, the radio began to fade out in rhythm with the turn signal.
Obviously there's a loss of voltage - I'm thinking these are symptoms of a bad alternator. What do you think?

I have had two alternators fail in my 1991 Accord. The tachometer dropped to zero both times...so it seems like a valid indicator of a bad alternator to me.
