HELP please

[92preludeSIR]

ok so earlier today my batery light came on and than i shut the car off and it went away after i started it again, than later that day it came back on. it has a brand new battery and as i was headed home tonight my lights slowly started dieing so i was just wanting to know if anyone knew if there could be something other than the ALT. (also the tach and speedo stopped working but the millage counters and the fuel and temp still works) the fact i am asking is because i had a 93 10th any-v and it did the same thing and i took the cluster out and re-plugged it up and i also took the white plastic out from behind the fuse box in the floor and it fixed my problem, any help??

It could possibly be one of you grounds or ignition switch...

Replace your alt.

[92preludeSIR]

if it was the ignition switch i dont think that would phase the battery tho would it? i mean it still cranks over but acts like the battery is dead

check your battery connections. Loose connections will provide a weak spark, and the car will not start. Do all your accessories work?

If your new battery is dead, then it's either a defective battery, or your alternator is shot. If the battery is healthy, then check your connections and grounds.

my system still bumps and like my ac and stuff works but the dash lights die out and the head/tail lights i look at all the connections but havent charged the battery up because it was late when i got home but however i drove the car all day i would think it would have like fried out rather quicky because im always out driving my cb7 in town being bored so i mean its never sitting still so idk. although sometimes when i crank the car up if ur under the hook you can see a spark around the starter.

i actually just had the same problem i would check all your grounds and make sure you have good grounds if you do on the alt you have a hot wire that runs to it and a piece that plugs in my problem was that the piece that plugs in kept coming unplugged if that isnt connected good your charge will go in and out

replace Your Alt.

Check your grounds at the very least, and pull your alternator and take it to advance they do free testing. I had the same problem on my old mx5 and it turned out the new alternator I had installed a month earlier shorted out. You never know until you have it tested.

start ur car,let it warm up,then disconnect the pos on the battrey.if the car dies it the alt.if it stays running then its some thing else...

[92preludeSIR]

it was the ALT guys. thanks. so get this, i took it to be rebuilt localy and i fried everything but the brushes, the man told me it could be from a stereo system, jumping people, and a bad battery. so first off i checked the battery even had it checked at advanced auto parts. So than i instently knew i have never jumped anyone sense ive owned/bought a new battery, so than i tought about my stereo, has anyone else had this problem??
