my car dies from no electricity like a bad alternator would do but the alternator is good...battery starts car but alternator doesnt charge it

this happened with another h22 i had. i took it to a place and i think the guy was messing with some stuff maybe wires near the fuse box inside the car. im guessing its something thats disabling the alternator even though its good?????
any help???

just for ha-ha's, disconnect your a/c relays one by one (condensor and compressor I think is the second). Had the same issue with my prelude, turns out one of the a/c relays was shorting out internally causing a draw. randomly found someone on h-t who had the same issue.

have you checked the driver kick panel for a blown fuse it controls the alt. its a 7,5 amp fuse usely blows when some one mess with a ground wire or loose wire happen to me it was a melt o2 sensor wire.

turns out it was a bullshit alt. pep boys gave me you know the ones that are 100% tested and guaranteed

driver side under the dash next to the clutch pedal.there fusesyou need to check.

darockstar

the fuse box under the hood take it off and check the connections on the bottom...have you tested the alt? other than that check the wires that run on the alt

I have this issue now as well. I will trouble shoot the Lude tomorrow to see what I find. This thread has helped me a lot. I'm a RX7 guy that has no RX7 so my Lude is doing it for me and it's doing a GREAT JOB!

Bernod

Found the problem. I originally thought the battery was dead and to make a long story short. The alternator was tested and passed however it was the problem after further testing and NOW no problems!
