Hey I have a 1991 Civic with B16A and whenever I am driving my battery light stays on most of the time, and I figured the car isnt chargin while its running, but sometimes when im driving the battery light will turn off and stay off for a while until I make a turn or hit a bump or something along those lines.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem??

 

could be:
alternator
loose connection
weak ground

use a dvom at the battery to see if it is charging when the light is on then checkl to make sure all your connections are tight

 

i got the same problem on my crx. thing is, the alternator crapped out, replaced it, getting 12volts when the car is on, and when it is off. everything works, the battery light just stays on? why?

you should be seeing near 14+ volts if the alternator is charging
