Good day everyone! 1991 EX Sedan, 244k miles, stock engine.
I've noticed twice now that while I'm driving in somewhat heavy rain that for a few seconds the wipers will get really slow and everything gets dim, but after a few seconds all returns to normal. It's almost as if I've lost electrical power and I'm running on the battery. During this time, I have the a/c on, wipers on, lights on, and radio on. I've also noticed that I've developed a belt squeal when it gets really wet outside.
I believe the alternator is the original one except for when the previous owners replaced the internal brushes.
Battery is known to be good, a/c compressor is a new Denso unit and the engine runs great.
In the morning on the way to work I have the a/c on, lights on, and radio on, but nothing "odd" happens; no seemingly loss of power and no belt squeal.
Any ideas on this?
