so I have a 94 honda accord. Sometimes my car's battery light would light up when i get to a certain rpm. I also noticed that if i turn on my headlights, some of the lights inside my car, like the light for the time gets dimmer.


Last year i just had that battery blinking problem and then my car suddenly stopped working. I found out that it was my alternator and i had the alternator changed. I also changed my car battery.


So what problems can it be this time, is the alternator breaking down again?

 

yup most likely.

but first check all the connections to make sure they are all tight. and that you have a good ground.

 

if your gonna replace your alternator you might as well go ahead and replace you negative lead on the battery as well as the positive one and new battery connectors.....under 20 bucks in parts and you will know its been done...also take a multimeter reading directly at the alternator port for the wire that charges the battery

 

alternator

 

so that means more money . Oh ill check with a mechanic. i dont know much about cars.

 

battery light 99.9% of the time is the alt

maybe consider getting a higher quality aftermarket one, rather than getting a oem replacement one?

 

yep, alt. pound for pound everytime. when mine was going out i actually had to drive @ night with no lights and i a got a couple of backfires ffs!

 

how long do you guys think my car can last before it stops working?

That's just the dimmer function. The blinking battery light is your real problem.
