I have a 2000 Honda Accord SE with a about 316,000 miles on it. My dashboard lights were doing the same thing, then my speedometer, rpm and temperature gauge stopped working. I pulled off the main highway, off the exit ramp onto a secondary road and my car progressively lost power until it died. This happened on a Sunday so the shop or mechanic I take it too was closed. The tow truck driver was able to start the car and drive it up on the trailer. I have or had a brand new battery so I'm thinking it's got to be the alternator since this is the original one, and I've had this car since it was brand new in 1999.
Is that what the issue was because I had the same problem but replaced my alternator twice and had them check twice and my system still phone charge after checking all the fuses
This is exactly what’s going on my 2001 Honda Accord and finally it died and I’m waiting for my aunt to get home to jump it (it’s a mile away). The last couple of days it won’t start unless I move the loose positive battery terminal a certain way.
Pulling the + positive lead of the battery cables to test the alternator? Are you not concerned about electrical arching? I don't know how sensitive the computer in newer vehicles are to voltage/current spikes, but there is a remote possibility that this practice can damage voltage/current sensitive components!
i have a 2001 accord ex 5 speed with 330k miles running strong but these lights have been coming on.. alternator and battery tested good.. there is corrosion on the terminals and wires though so maybe thats the problem?
Did you ever fix this problem?? I have the same issue with my 02 accord V6. I just put in a new battery...all lights went off then came on again the next day.
My car was doing the same thing , it started with the negative battery ground and I replaced it now the same lights are just stuck on idk wats wrong brand new battery and alternator
@@michaelatkin9649 probably a bad ecm at this point as it sounds like it's not resetting with the new batteries or alternator. Honda accords love to keep old info in the ecm and mess stuff up when they are of the 1998-2008 vintage years. Force a reset of the system so you guarantee its reading the new equipment not tryinb to run off old internal saved info
@@danyell4870 How do you reset the ECM please? I am having the same issue with my 02 accord V6. Got a new battery...lights went off then came back next day.
Buy a can of electronic cleaner disconnect the alternator plug spray it with that wait 3 minutes i did that to mine and the lights are off back to normal good luck.
Just bought a 2000 accord lx 3l v6 and the lights will flicker intermittently before my car feels like its starving for gas and stalls. Took it to 2 mechanics had the main relay fixed and still having the issue. The secong mechanic said my tensioner pulley needs replaced and my drive belt is glazed but the alternator is good and tge battery tests said the battery is brand new. Not ignition switch because i cant kill it by messing with the key no matter how hard i try. Also has trouble starting when its hot outside. All connections and wires are tight and secure. But both mechanics couldnt find out why my engine was randomly stalling. Any help would be amazing i cant seem to find anyone with the same issue
Jacob, did you ever figure out this solution?? I have an 02 accord V6 with same issue. Just put in a new battery...lights went off but came on again the next day. Please let me know if you ever figured this out!
On mine the battery and the open door lights are flickering but as soon as press the brake the lights go off I have a 2000 Honda accord with 326k miles on it does anybody know why the car does that ???
Had the same problem on the dash, and the car slowly shuts off and wont start, I got a new battery it worked for 2hrs and it shuts off. So i jumped the battery and started it and disconnected the negative battery connection and to see if the car was running and it flickers and shuts off. So this means i need a new alternator. By the way. When you want to test your alternator, disconnect the negative while car is on, not the positive because you will cause sparks and it will damage the computer lol
Not sure if you ran some tests with proper tools. Stop by Autozone, O'Reilley or PepBoys and have they run some tests. Could be something else. Let us know.
my alternator is going out lol the same lights flash when im going down the road but they never stay on or anything unless the motor is at 1200rpm some times 2500rpm
If you know or have tested as a bad alternator, then you MUST replace it asap for safety , cost(towing etc.) and other hassles. It can DIE anytime, and you can be in danger like on freeway or whereever..Please replace with a dealer OEM alternator. Don't buy AUTOZONE or PEPBOYS and I had bad experience with AUTOZONE, alt died after 10 months.
I have @ 2000 Honda accord v6 coupe 2 door I just bought a new Alternator and Battery y my Battery light still on????? Any body that cares can you help explain??
Kevin Tha Dallas Way!!! I have the same car as yours, it’s got 276k+ on it and runs well other than the trans which shifts hard. Lately it’s been like rapidly dimming every electronic in the car, and it’s really sketchy. I don’t know what to do
That's not good let's say you disconnect the battery and you have a bad alternator guess what your going to burn you computer and your multiplex unit even your Radio please be careful

Holy crap man😂I just bought a 2002 v6 Accord ex and it literally has about the same trip and mileage

Wow, same view as mine, mileage too!
It's the alternator alright, replace it and you'll be amazed how much better it runs afterwards
mines doing the same thing .. 280k miles .. i took alt out tested ok .. but think its intermintant ,, replacing alt now
How many miles does the car have now or by the time you were done with it? And was it a V6 or a 4-cylinder?
We saw the car a few years back when it had about 260,000
i have a 2001 accord ex 5 speed with 330k miles running strong but these lights have been coming on.. alternator and battery tested good.. there is corrosion on the terminals and wires though so maybe thats the problem?
Do you still have problems? I cant seem to fix my car still 6 months later changed battery alternator and ignition switch
If I remember The problem was gone. We sold the car a few years ago.
Did you ever fix this problem?? I have the same issue with my 02 accord V6. I just put in a new battery...all lights went off then came on again the next day.
How can u tell if my starter bad are alternator are its the key bad it want let me start it up
at about how many miles is the car due for regular check ups?
I will do every 3000 - 6000 miles at each oil change, or every other oil change.
My car was doing the same thing , it started with the negative battery ground and I replaced it now the same lights are just stuck on idk wats wrong brand new battery and alternator
Test alternator again to see.
Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours? My car will not charge even with two brand-new alternators have been tested

Good tip. I do have electronic cleaner. Thanks
@@jamescc2010 well the lights came on and off again to me no luck
Did you scan to see if you get any error codes? Something is still needed to be fixed look like unfortunately.

hmmm not sure. Let us know. This will take some time to figure out - process of elimination.

@@hunterreed1010 nope replaced the fuel pump and car was working ok for about 4 months then would randomly die. Sold it

My car had the same issue. Same lights came on. Engine died. Alternator good. Battery good also. Still no reason for the issue.
Not sure if you ran some tests with proper tools.

I've got the same issue with my Accord. I even replaced the ELD in it and still won't charge
My 2002 accord is doing the same thing with the lights in the dash new battery so I think it's the alternator It goes dead with headlights on
Check your alternator.
i drive with the dash lights turned down and it seemed to help
I changed my battery and alternator and I reset the button but they still come on? Any suggestions?
I’m having the same issue
Having the same issue! Please, did you ever figure out what the problem was?
@@hunterreed1010 my alternator was a aftermarket one, I got a new one and that helped it! Hope it works for u
Check your battery cables
my alternator is going out lol the same lights flash when im going down the road but they never stay on or anything unless the motor is at 1200rpm some times 2500rpm
Hi, Did you replace it? Don't want to wait until it dies and you are stuck somewhere.
that's what i keep telling my wife but no i have not replaced it yet it is still doing the flashing light on the dash
If you know or have tested as a bad alternator, then you MUST replace it asap for safety , cost(towing etc.) and other hassles.
It can DIE anytime, and you can be in danger like on freeway or whereever..Please replace with a dealer OEM alternator. Don't buy AUTOZONE or PEPBOYS and I had bad experience with AUTOZONE, alt died after 10 months.
it's not me i want to replace it but my wife has the money and will not replace it
It happened to us and it was not good..believe me.
What is the reason for your wife not doing it..not understanding what can happen or $$. or else?
I have @ 2000 Honda accord v6 coupe 2 door I just bought a new Alternator and Battery y my Battery light still on????? Any body that cares can you help explain??
Stop by an auto part like O'Reilly and have them scan for error codes.

Mines was like that nd died a day nd a half still sitting out front
