Charging Issue Needs Help - HondaClub.com

Zircle · 02-10-2007, 08:16 AM

I have a 2001 Canadain built Civic (but I live in US) and the battery light is on. To make a very long story short...altenator replaced, all fuses checked complete wiring diagnostics performed. Every possible thing tried and checked at Honda USA direction. The light remains on, althouth, since doing all that, the battery is now staying charged. Go figure. Honda Canada tells me that there is a different part number for the Canadian altenator as opposed to the US altenator. They can't tell me what's different about them, just that they are. So, the suggestion from Honda is to now try a Canadian altenator (at approximately $800). That seems like a rather expensive TRY with no guarantees. So......has anyone had this issue or ever heard of such ? Any information, thoughts or suggestion will be greatly appreciated..........Zircle
