check the fuse under the dash

i checked them they look fine...??

LA_HONDAS

start the car up and unhook the batt... and see if it dies

and did you check the fuse under the hood

kiba

you can always use a voltmeter on the battery while the car is off and running to see if its charging.... check the connections on the back of the the alt....

ya i checked the battery fuse under the hood it looked fine also..???the car doesnt die out when i un plug the battery but the alt and battery are new i just put them in???but when i turn the lights and stuff on then thats when the rpm stops working and the radio gets twacked out..also my speedometer stopped working when all this started happening

LA_HONDAS

is the alt obd1 or obd2?

boostedekhatch

its obd1

try and hook up just the black/yellow wire on the alt to a key on 12v and see if it run with the batt unhook

or take a voltage meter and see if the black/yellow on the alt is getting 12v when the key is on
