Hey guys!

I'm having a problem with my 01 civic lx while driving at night i can see the dash board lights, dome lights etc looking really poor but once i either put the turn signal light or wiper blades on, the light's intesity will increase to normal then will they drop down again. im not sure if this is alternator, loose wire or something else if anyone know about this, i will really appreciate it

thanks

im having an issue with my car right now too, but since your lights are getting brighter when the additional load is added i doubt its your distributor. sounds to me like it could be a relay. One of the things someone suggested to me is the ELD (electrical load distributor) maybe you could check that?

You may also have a faulty ground.

i replaced my alternator because it was overcharging the system and ended up burning the ELD and cam position sensor but i got everything replaced last year, recently hooked up a ground from the battery to the chassis but i still have the same issue. idk if running a positive from the alternator to the battery will cure the problem
