Just stumbled on this board as I was looking for some answers to a problem my 91 Accord is having.

Last night I was driving home and my electrical system warning indicator came on. I continued to drive the car, hoping I could make it home. About an hour later the speedomoter and tacometer both went to zero, then all my lights began to fade and eventually everything electrical in my car shut off. I could still drive, but VERY SLOW (and it would shudder as I tried to give it gas in an effort to get off the freeway and into a gas station).

I need to fix my car today. Went and had my battery tested and it doesn't even need to be charged (with my limited knowlede of cars if the battery is charged doesn't that sound like the alternator is working?) I briefly read about the common problem with Main Relay's and was wondering if that sounds like it could be the problem?

The electrical warning light has been going on and off over the past couple days while I was out of town. The car never had a problem starting, but it would go on for a little while and then shut off...seemingly randomly it would come on again for a little while and then turn off.

I took the day off work today to fix my car (cause my car is stuck about 60 miles from my house) and I'm hoping to get it repaired today. Any quick help would be very appreciated!!
