ok....i've tried searching but it doesn't seem to work...my battery light is on..and when i turn on the headlights..they will dim down and die and my instrument cluster dies too..so i replaced the alternator and battery with new ones..and it still is doing the same thing..any suggestions...

 

Check the alternator belt tension, and that electrical grounds are good.

 

i've checked the belt..and tested the connections according to the haynes manual..everything falls in spec..the weird thing is the car started to idle funny after this happened...i put a mulitmeter on the battery to check the voltage..everytime the engine's idle goes up then comes down..the voltage will drop like .2 volts everytime and gets lower and lower..

 

make sure the cables that are hooked up to the battery are clean (sand the inside) thats probley not you prob but good advise, check for shorts sounds like ya got a huge one!

 

have you checked the fuses and the single battery cable that goes into fuse box make sure it is tight and not damaged and the fuses are not also. the fuse that is 80 is for the battery so check that and replace.

you might need new battery connections. double check alternator wires as well.
also, on hondas the battery light is very sensitive. even though the battery might be putting out the might amount of volts, you might be low on cranking amps.
this will trigger a battery indication light.
