electrical storm inside my vtec 96!!!

[quakie]

help...
may electrical storm sa vtec ko...
nawawalan o humihina ang kuryente nang boung sasakyan pag ginagawa ko ang ISA lang sa mga ito:

1. apak sa brake
2. on ng headlight
3. mag power lock
4. mag power window

pinasok ko na sa honda alabang ang kotse at wala naman daw sira ung alternator nya. nilinis din nila lahat ng contacts pero nandun pa rin ang electrical storm. nangyayari lang sya pag umandar na ang kotse ng 5 mins lang. ang masama pa nito itinirik pa ako. ayaw na ding mag start pag minsan.

kung pwede lang mkahingi ng suggestions kung pano ko masolve ang problema na ito.

at kung saan ako makakita ng auto electrician na magaling sa mga gantong problema. location ko is san pedro, laguna
tnx...

PS: ang accesories lang ng car ko ay alarm lang. check ko na rin, wala din syang problema

gano katagal na yung battery mo? baka it needs replacement na. have your battery checked muna.

[flakez]

yup baka battery,

any upgrade sa electrical load like sounds, foglights, etc..? nangyari din sa akin yan nung nag upgrade ako sa 2 amp system. bagsak kuryente pag bukas lahat. nag upgrade na lang ako to a higher amp na alternator.

bro flakes, alarm lang daw accessory nya. i assume its the battery.

1st check your battery. kung may tester ka, check mo ano voltage. Should be at least 12.4 volts with engine off and 13.8 to 14.4 volts when idling. While your at it clean your battery terminals and tighten them.

2nd check your ground. You should have at least 2 ground points. Battery - to chasis and engine to chasis. A loose ground can cause all sorts of probs. Had a loose battery to chasis ground in my car. Results were dim lights. Kumukurap kurap pa ang headlights ko. Eventually car started to run rough. Tester showed fluctuating voltage. Tightened the ground bolt and it solved all 3 probs.

its a voltage drop problem and indeed quite difficult to troubleshoot considering what have been done already in attempt to fix it

if userfriendly's suggestions do not fix it ... it's time to go deeper ... other possible causes could be poor/corroded contacts on the big fuses (80A or 60A) found on the engine bay or loose wiring associated with the +12V line underneath the electrical box

it would be best to find an auto electrician with good skills using a digital multitester ... if it isn't grounding problem, the troubleshooting process can take awhile (assuming the battery is in good health!)
