civic alternator?!
so a few days ago all my lights and stuff were on a constant flucuation dim birhgt dim bright exc. exc. so i look at it and a hold the alternator was loose and somehow grounding to the block which was causing it to do what it was doing....i pushed it back in hand tightened it a little just go get it in. and the lighting problem stopped. so today im warming up my car and everything dies. i look again for that bolt and its gone... is this why my alternator is gone right now?? is it some sort of a ground? help please!!! i mean it has to do somthing seeing as it just being loose and getting close to the block it was sparking and causing my lights to dim and bright,,,,,,right??

Re: civic alternator?!
We're useless because you don't know how to tighten your alternator down properly?
Try getting a service manual and a multimeter, and then go through the process of reading the wires to the alternator; to see if there's a problem. It could be a damaged wire somewhere or it could be a bad voltage regulator.

Got it fixed guys one of the bolts from the alternator bracket actuallly fell out,,,and shifted the alternator i guess just enough to make it not spin as fast and not produce power.

Re: civic alternator?!
