Dash lights come on when driving
Hi, I have a '98 Accord LX and all of a sudden the dash lights came on as I was driving. At first, they would go off for a while and then come back on, and now they are flickering and fading on and off. This includes the "door open" lights, oil pressure, etc. They are not always ALL on or off. I tested the battery and it was 12.6 V at idle and went over 13 V with AC etc. on and it even spiked to over 16 V for a second or two - which I assume is bad. I tested from the alternator wire out to the neg. terminal of the battery and it was OL. I checked the 100 amp fuse and it looked good. Is this probably the alternator or the voltage regulator and are they separate or together in the alternator unit. Thanks for any help.
