Default 1991 Accord mind boggling problem.

TYIA,
Very well maintained 91 Accord w/ 227K, AT is having a problem maintaining the proper charge needed. While driving, the fan for the vents inside the car become weaker, all the lights become weaker, headlights as well. Within a week I changed 2 alternators, the battery AND the god damn computer. The battery light still flashes on and off, although previously the engine light would come on with it as well. Changing the computer helped although having this problem is a nuisance. The cables between alt and battery are not corroded.
WHAT do i do?????

thankyou.

I moved your post to a new thread. Please read posting rules.

A couple of things to suggest:

1) Get a battery voltage monitor and plug into cigarette lighter to allow voltage to be monitored. You should be getting over 14 volts w/ discharged battery.
Equus Innova 3721 Battery Charging System Monitor - Walmart.com

2) Check crankshaft pulley bushing for slippage (outer pulley slipping relative to inner drive). Make a radial mark across pulley/bushing/inner drive and watch for slippage indicated by movement of outer part of mark relative to inner part. I had this occur once and it was the devil to detect. Charge monitor did not indicate discharge condition.

good luck
