No way!!! I just experienced the same exact thing!
I replaced my battery and 3 days later many lights started going on. Then while driving, it seemed that it just slipped out of gear. I press on the gas and the engine just revs. Immediately brought it to a Goodyear station (50 feet away and they did a 'full diagnostic'. They said it could be the alternator. They replaced the alternator, and $500 dollars later it was fine.
2 days later, the lights started coming on again! I've got a 2 year old and don't want to have the car slip out of gear while I'm on the highway! Somebody please help!

Re: Dash lights are all on (ferreter)
Anyone who drives their vehicle and has an easy to work on vehicle such as a Honda should never pay anyone to put on an alternator. You would save a lot of money if you would just take a look at what you've got and play with a few bolts.

Re: Dash lights are all on (H2290)
Went to the local auto store, bought an alternator and put it in myself.
$130+tax.
Works great! Lights are out!
Thanks all!
BTW, on a '98, you have to remove the fan cowling to create enough space to get the old alternator out and the new one in. It took about 1.5 hours.....and I didn't have any parts left over.
