I have a Honda accord 2002, 2.3, 4 cyl. It was wrecked within in the last few months on the front, passenger side. I have been having serious electrical issues and dumping money into it like its my job. The battery tests good. My alternator tests bad when it is in the vehicle, but when I took it out and tested it on the machine 3 times it tested good. my cables and terminals are good. I have a 1.55 amp drain, my alternator will not charge my battery, I have been told that the 2002 Honda accord has a computer controlled charging system, could potentially be the problem and the cause of the drain. I can not afford a certified shop at this time. I have no idea what I could do next, any help is appreciated.

 

We need some more information.

What is the problem? Is the battery light in the instrument cluster turned on? Is the battery dying while driving?

What was replaced when the car was wrecked? Did a shop do the work, or was this a DIY job?

Do you have a volt meter and know how to test for voltage and ground?

 

the problem is that my battery will be fully charged and run only until it dies, as if alternator is not charging. I do not have any battery light indication. the battery and alternator have been replaced since the wreck. diy job, my uncle and I helped. I had it tested at advanced the read out was 12.15v when vehicle was running and when turned off.

 

What exactly is the problem ? Be specific.

 

Does the charge light come on if you turn the key on/pos II - don't start the car, just turn the key to "ON".

 

I found the problem it was a faulty ELD what a freaking mess it was thanks for your info concern.

 

After I made this post, my car started throwing out check engine codes. 3 transmission codes, 02 censor and the p1298. My cooling fan and condenser fan stopped working as well. After some research and some thought, I come to the conclusion that ELD was first to fix. when I replaced all the other codes went away.

 

To think after all them codes came up... I was considering just trading it In. What a blessing that I didn't!

 

faulty ELD was just preventing my charging system from doing its job and threw everything out of whack.
