I was driving around today and I noticed my battery light was on while I was driving. I turned the car on then off and the light still stays on. Does this mean my battery is dying or could it be my alternator. It was raining at the time and i might have gotten some water on the belt and maybe that caused this? any ideas?-

 

Probably alternator. See this thread:

So I went to take a look at it since it stopped raining this morning and this is what I found.......

The outer ring to the crank pulley (the part that the alternator belt goes on) SOMEHOW came off. I can slide it back on there but I can pull it off just as easily. I'm thinking I should clean the surfaces and honda-bond it to keep it in place, I would've used jb weld except there's a rubber mating surface.

Still not 100% on how this happened, but it doesn't look like I broke anything so oh well!

 

It's better to replace that harmonic balancer pulley instead of trying Hondabond.

 

true, but I'll be swapping this engine out for a h22a in about a month so i'm not trying to dump any more cash into this engine than I have to.

 

Good choice!

 

wow, how could something like that even happen?

 

with tha car running disconnect positive on alternator, if it shuts off its ur alt, if it doesnt then u might have a bad ground. samething happened to me few mths ago. check the negative cable that goes from battery to chassic.

 

this was the problem, i fixed it and it stoped. although it come off the pulley AGAIN tonight, so i'll be getting a new pulley tomorrow.
