Default Won't stay crunk

I have a 1992 Honda Accord Ex that I have replaced the battery and alternator on and it still does not stay running. The battery light is still on and I don't know what to do next. This has been going on for 1 month now. I don't know what else to replace. Someone please help me.....

Welcome to HAF.

Read posting rules and post in correct forum.

Suggest going to Walmart, et al and purchasing Battery and Charging System Monitor. Cut/paste the following link w/o leading " into browser.
"http://www.walmart.com/ip/Equus-Innova-3721-Battery-and-Charging-System-Monitor/15137663?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=15137663&sourceid= 1500000000000003260530&veh=cse

This will tell you for sure that voltage is low which is what the charge light should indicate.

Also suggest checking crankshaft pulley. There is a rubber ring between inner drive and outer pulley that can wear out and slip. This prevents the alternator from turning and charging the battery. A good way to test is to draw a straight radial line across the rubber bushing and crank the engine. If the inner/outer part of the mark separates the bushing is slipping.

good luck

I believe it is this



Not sure why you would want your Honda to stay that way.

I try to keep the crunk out of my honda. Word on the street is that it leads to excessive "low riding" which cant be good for the camber angles....

I dont know about this problem, you are going to have to test your wiring harnesses if the alternater is TRUELY a good one. I'd start at an auto zone and have them test the battery, when they do this they will also give you a readout on your alternators ability to "recharge" if they aren't getting anything then either 1) the alternator is crap or worse 2) that your wiring harness is fried.
