plop121 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 i stepped into my 99 v6 accord last night, and i started driving, after 1 min, the entire dahsbaord lit up, ( all door open, SRS, ABS, battery, everything) and i hear a stragne noise form the engine compartment. And the lights keep going on off randomly. Is it the alternator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 uhh.. did you just buy the car from someone? if so, you can get your money back since it wont pass smog only in the state of cali, or he must help you pass smog in anyway..(thats what the CA DMV says) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 the dash lights messing up will make you fail smog? what's up with cali? did you check all the fuses etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYRONE Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 maybe a sensor as well!! does your engine light stay on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plop121 Posted December 29, 2003 Author Share Posted December 29, 2003 well, i have noticed one thing, the entire dash only lights up after 3000 or so rpms, right when it hits vtec, which gets me worried, because i do hear a sound from under the hood, so it's def. something mechanical affecting it. I was thinking maybe the belt is shot, or the alternator, fluctuations in energy output? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racing94AccordEX Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 I would suggest taking it to a honda dealership and having them plug it up to one of their computers and diagnose the onboard... that will tell you if there is something screwy in the electrical system. It would not be the alternator, and I doubt it is a belt. best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
