Battery light comes on as if someone is playing....

[ahmad89]

When the car gets up to about 3-4k rpms, the battery light would faintly and fully come on until it shifts and goes back to lower rpms. I think its either the wire from alt to battery, alt bushing, or the alt. What should i replace first and how do i replace it. Thankyou.

my mum had the same prob with her prelude she had to repllace her alt.

i wanna just get a new alt all together but is it hard to change it? and will i get shocked? When i was replacing that bypass outlet or inlet hose by the alt, my socket wrench touched the alt and it sparked. Scared me.

take the bat out and you wont have a prob

Ok, now is there a how to on here for removing the alt and installing it? i looked but only found replacing bushings.

you have to take your wheel off unless you want to pull your engine
