hey what's up? i have a problem. my alternator fuse keeps blowing out and i don't understand why. everytime it goes out my battery indicator light and check engine light comes on and my speedometer doesn't work. at first i thought it was my battery, so i replaced it but it still goes out sometimes. it seems like when i drive it hard it goes out faster. i had it parked for about 5 months but i would start it up once a week. i also had the battery disconnected. i don't have a sound system just header, intake, exhaust, hondata 4, hid, thermostat and fan switch. i don't think that's the problem. any info would be helpful. thanks.

 

Take it to the dealer. it should be under warrenty. thats the best thing you can do.

 

Check all the grounds in the engine bay, just for starters...Then locate a manual for your car and just start trouble shooting it.
Good-Luck, let me talk with some of the guys here at work and I'll see if they recommend anything common.

 

Could you find out what # the fuse is thats blowing....I have the diagram for the Alternator circuits but knowing wich fuse blows helps

 

it's the #4 fuse under the dash. i think it's either the voltage regulator or speed sensor but i'm not sure. unless i have to i don't want to take my car to the dealer cause they will probably not warranty it because of the hondata, so is this something i could do myself. if so where is the problem located? thanks for the help.

Check this image from the Honda Interactive web-site,
The fuse-4, has quite a lot of things that get power off that circuit....It could be any one of these itmes that are blowing that fuse...
