problem #1

Mar 262015

Accord LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 118,000 miles

Battery light flickers intermittently. At the same time the battery light flickers, the headlights go dim, the A/C fans fluctuate in speed, and my aftermarket stereo amplifiers (2) cut out. It's still progressively getting worse. I have replaced the battery and had the alternator checked several times but no one can find the problem.

Update from May 7, 2015: After taking the vehicle to the Honda dealer for a recall, the dealer looked into the battery light problem. Turns out that the diodes in the alternator were going bad. Alternator replacement fixed the issue. So much for the auto parts store testers. They repeatedly told to me that the diodes were good according to their test equipment.
