Same as the other one but a 2000

So its a 2000 accord v6 2 door 128000 kms on it ( which seems low to have this kund of a prob)

Honda used a lot of Delphi alternators on the 6th gen Accord V6, unlike Denso alternators which were better quality. The problems were bad bearings which would make a whining noise when your car was running or the alternators would not charge.

I had a whinning noise come from engine,there is a bearing in the alternator that causes this.You think it coming from your engine.touch your alternator you should feel a weared vibration and grinding.If you feel and hear this,you should replace it.Make sure your new alternator is tested and passed.The shop i went to tested the new ones and they failed.Make sure they pass before instaling.

I just started having this same issue on my 99 accord lx. I have 225,000 miles on it. Took it to AutoZone to see if it was the alternator but they said it was running fine. I have no idea what else to check then. I bought a new battery for it and made sure connections were clean. What else could it be? Possible the AutoZone guy didn't know what be was doing I don't know.

I have the same issue on my 2000 Honda odyssey except I just replaced my alternator with a factory remanufactured one they even sent a copy of their diagnostics that said the alternator is running fine... The bad alternator didn't cause these and it was fine until my husband took the battery out and put a different one in now it's throwing the lights and my tranny is jerking when going into drive or reverse which it wasn't doing before either any help would be appreciated...

Please start a new thread and describe what you have tested and what has been done on your vehicle.

Having multiple people post of the same thread makes it very confusing.

Could it be bad cables?

Hi i'm having exactly the same problem with all the lights coming on but there is also a weird electrical whirrling noice coming from the engine. Strangly after driving the car 30 mins to have someone look at it the lights went off, came back on within a min then went off and have stayed off, however the strange whirrling noice is still there. Followin instructions here we checked the battery at two diff shops, its fine so move on to the alternator but its charging the battery just fine as the battery volts go up. Now heres the really strange part we put in a new battery ( brand new never used) and the sound goes
Away at idle, put the other battery tested at two shops and told was fine and the noise comes back....

So at current state "shop tested batttery" in car, still making whirrling noise , no check batterry, break , doorlights anymore but all the sudden the SRS is coming on and off?!?!

Any suggestions before i go to honda and waste my money( ps i bought a new alternator and its sitting in my trunk and the car was at honda 2 weeks ago and got that seatbelt sensory replace)
