If it's charging too little--or overcharging--the light will not come on. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

I forgot I posted here and I am attempting to remove the alternator since
the parts store gave me a replacement. I think I have to remove the exhaust pipe to make enough clearance to remove the alternator. I find the main wire is melted at the terminal of the alternator and the insulation a couple inches up the wire has bubbled. I'll check the tegger faq before I go further. I also decided to add a real voltmeter as AutoZone didn't have an add-on ammeter to install.

The only thing I found in the faq was possibly a bad battery if it goes
flat, but mine is holding a charge. I'll continue with removing the alternator. "'Curly Q.
