E^2 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Everyone, You have a great forum here. I'm a first-time poster, and I hope that you can help me out. I have a 2002 Accord LX V6 with 53,000 miles. I have completed all of the routine maintenance on schedule. Last night, my wife was on the last 20 minutes of a 2.5 hour trip when the dash lit up. The battery light, brake light, brake lamp light, and all of the "door ajar"/"trunk ajar" lights came on and stayed that way. She turned off the AC (just in case), and continued home without any problems other than the warning lights. I checked all of the fuses, and they were fine. This morning, I started the car to drive to work, and the lights did not come on. Could I be that lucky, I thought? (Hey, it was 6:00am, and I hadn't had my coffee yet). After two minutes of driving, they started to blink on and off, and after five minutes, they stayed on. I made it to work without any problems (30 minutes of city driving). My first thought was a blown fuse, and my second thought is a failing alternator, but I'm no expert. I'd appreciate any ideas or input!

Jeffro Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'd have the alternator checked at autozone and rule that out first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E^2 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 well did you ever find out what is going out bc i have the same problem? It was my alternator. It failed the tests, so I had it replaced and the problem went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flater Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I had the same problem. I replaced my battery with one for an 8 cylinder engine and have had no problems with the lights since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
