Yo CL Peeps,
My low battery light popped on today! Shit. Time for the alternator. So i ordered one. Found my anti thieft radio card! Code has been completely scratched out! SHiT! What to do, What to do! Any suggestions?

 

stop talking like a moron


then i'l tell you what to do


or you can search and hope

 

 

get a higher amperage alternator and an alpine head unit.

beef up your speakers... that'd be a nice start

 

for your radio code, you're gonna have to take out your radio, get the serial number on the back and take it to Honda/Acura, wait 5 mins and you'll get ur code...

 

my 99 cl has 55K on it. u think its time for the alternator? probably eh? Stupid radio code. all this trouble just for that. it blows.

 

wait...we have a "low battery" light??? wow i didnt know we had that

 

i have a cl s 01 and my newphew has an 95 integra and my code worked on his radio maybe try someone elses code. i also have the same code as a friend of mine how has the same sundance gold cl. same color same everything

 

so ur saying devices with the same code thats cool never thought of that

 

Why do people waste theier time on those crappy stock headunits... :blah:
They are garbage.

 

That's the answer...

 

the only reason i dont upgrade my stereo is because i dont want my car getting broken into every other month

washington really sux with car theft

 

How do we know you're not some asshole thief that stole someones stereo?!?! Why would it erase if you still have battery power? It won't!

 

Um, when he changes out the alternator.... He will have to unhook the battery.

 

So i ordered an alternator online but it wont be here until monday! SHIT. Should i buy one at autozone and install it now, then take the other one back in the autozone box? U think it will work or not?

 

Uh, Probably Not.

 

how sure are u if it's even the alternator? If something was wrong with ur alternator, you would hear scratching noises from it... then in a few days... or even hours of driving... ur CEL (check engine light) will come on... and your car will die. Are u sure u needed to change ur alternator?

 

Well guess what happened to me last night... i was driving home, lights dimmed, car lost lots of power, drove about 3 mph home. SRS light came on, check engine came on, just made it home and then my car is dead. What do u think it could be? Alternator?

 

How many people had alternator problems in their cl? Any advice? I called autozone and it cost about 275! I ordered one online for 135. I know its not the best but its cheaper. How hard is the install?

 

pretty easy... but u gotta get someone with a "gun" to adjust the timing...

 

The light is not "low battery" its actually the light for the charging system. If it's on, your car is running solely on the power from the battery - your time is limited.

 

You DO NOT need to adjust your timing after you change your altenator.

 

Yo guys! IM going to change my alternator! Can someone tell me where the belt tensioner is? Dats all i need to know. my radio is dead. that bull. oh well

 

I think you should, because it's suppose to be set at a certain level. When i put mine in... i think it was at 14.. when itwas suppose to be at 16... but no biggie. Just make sure u try to match it up with ur old one. Its only like $15 to check the timing.. so i think it's well worth it.
