STUPID!!!!!

So yesterday we went to deliver Matt's truck to the new owner. On the way there we ran out of gas in the truck, so he coasted into a gas station to put gas in it.... So I parked on the opposite side of the pump in the Acura.... and the Acura dies. WTF! Apparently the alternator went out and I was running on the battery.

Wierdness: The charging system in the Acura

The voltage light on the instrument cluster comes on whenever the car is below 2800 RPM. Once the car goes over 2800 RPM, the charging system light goes off.

So to make a long story short, we had a friend of ours bring us tools and Matt's mom ended up picking us up and taking us to Walmart where we bought a new battery and drove home on battery power. Anyone want an Acura Legend?

We are just glad you made it home safe.....

When did the voltage light start coming on?

Lol... funny you should ask. It came on about 200 + miles before the car finally died!

So I replaced the alternator yesterday and all is well with the charging system Thanks again Lance!!!
