I was driving my accord when I noticed my radio cutting out a few times then the speedo went crazy jumping high then lower. I went to turn the headlights on and the car almost died? This just happened not sure why could it be a bad alternator? Thanks

 

I would disconnect the battery and clean all ends of both battery cables with a wire brush or a piece of sand paper.

Then reattach. Stop by a parts store. They will check the battery/alternator for free.

 

I'm gonna do that idk if my cars gonna make it to the store kinda dont wanna risk it

 

i would first do as pahonda suggested +have the charging system tested,,,,,, yes it could be a bad alternator

 

Alternator was bad. Replaced it had it checked battery and new alt are good. Today it started doing the same symptoms with the radio. I did notice my battery is a little wet on top would that get on terminals and cause this?

 

Does your radio cut out only when the volume is loud?

 

Yeah that's only when I notice it atleast

 

I do have a system in the car

 

My old car used to have this problem. Put a brand new battery and alternator and the problem continued. On my accord the previous owner wired the stereo to the battery to supply it with enough power. I think when the stereo turns off like that its protecting itself.

 

Hmm if that was the case with mine I feel like that would of happened since I bought the car? Maybe I'm wrong but it is a new problem
