Alrighty, I got a 1992 Integra DA and for about 2 weeks my dash lights have been getting dimmer and dimmer. Also when i turn on my headlights the dash lights get wicked dim, almost turning off.

Now i turned up the dimmer switch and nothing happened, so i knew i needed a new battery so i replaced it. Nothing new changed, so i checked the fuses and nothing wrong there either. So i just ignored it. Now for the past 2 days when i go to start my car it has a little trouble starting up. So i was wondering if it would be the alternator that would cause these problems. A friend said it might but im not 100% sure

 

take your alt. to autozone or kragens they will test it for free

 

Start the car and take the terminals off to see if the car dies or not. It sounds like your alternator is just weak and is on its last leg. Its a pain in the *** to take it off of our cars, so just have someone test it still in the car to see if it is working properly. It will more than likely show up as being good on the handheld tester they use because it is still technically operational, but you can see what I mean.

 

thankz i will try that!
