ok, well the other day my battery light turn on(on the dash board). i dont know why... i checked the wires an the connection... everything is fine. the weird thing bout it is.... that when i bring any gear besides 5th up to 4g's it will shut off... but then come back on when i hit 5th gear around 3-3.5g's... i dont get it.. the battery was bought in 05'... and its still putting out 12v's.
my neighbor has a 93 honda civic an his is doing the same problem an his battery is new also... what could be the problem??

 

I would get the alternator tested, Autozone and Advance usually provide this service free of charge.

 

so it could b the alternater.... ok cool... because when that light comes on..my dash lights an heat barely work... its very dim n low... so i want to get this fixed asap.... thankyou

 

Replace alternator, problem solved.

 

alright... well on my way to work this morning.. the alternater wenth ... which sucks because i was 30mins late to my job and i just started... and im pulling a double today... so what kinda of alt. do i need??
my motor is a b18c1 (non-vtec) so wha one would i need??? & how long does it take to put in??

 

b18c1 is a vtec!

 

lol I bet he has a B18b. If he had a GSR he would know it.:doh:

 

Is it a gen 2 or 3? How do you know it's your alt and not the battery? Did you have someone load test them?

If it's a gen3, I was able to remove the fuel rail and pull the alt through the top. All together maybe 30 minutes and if your new, 1-2hours.

 

alright.. i know its the alt. because the battery is putting out 12v's. so its not that. 2-3 days ago... my battery light came on. then my dash/reg. lights would dim an my heat would be on 4 but act like its on 1, when i put the high bems on my radio would turn off an turn back on... an it would do the same thing when i turned on my blinkers.. so i posted bout the light being on, an people told me it was not the battery. the battery was bought in 05 so its still somewhat new. i tested it an its putting out 12v's. so which would i need?? its a 94 rs b18c out of a 91-93 tegra non-vtec. because ive been calling an it sounds like theres 2 different alt's. so which 1 would i need?
