first off, my speedometer stops working. later on when i drive home from work, my rpm guage doesnt work nemore either. couple minutes after that, my cd player starts turning off n on then just completely turns off. after all that, the cluster, and my whole center counsole starts to dim slowly and my motor sounds like its gonna die. it doesnt completely die but when u put some gas on it it feels like tis not going newhere? what could be wrong!

we also switched batteries on it for the hell of it and it worked for a good 20 min. then it started to die out again. im guessing something draining the battery really badly.

Sounds like your alternator took a **** on you..

You put a good battery in and then it slowly died also??

Can you make it to an autozone or advanced??

They'll test it for free and i'm almost 100% sure..

Cost is going to be ruffly 200.00 for a ''new rebuilt one from a parts store''

thanks. i think thats is the problem also. we checked the voltage on the battery after taking it out and if gave 12v which is normal. im guessing its alternator problem =T anyone else have anything to say?

if it doesn't work, take the alternator back. search for the next possible problem. maybe even see if a buddy of yours with a honda will let u borrow his alternator just to check. but if u put in a new battery and it worked fine for some time, then the battery isn't being recharged and thats the alternators job. good luck bro and keep us posted.

blackie

anyone have experience taking the alternator out? seems like a really tight spot down there. do other places besides import shops take in modified cars n such?
