Ok, so here is how it all started. Thursday, as i was leaving school, i noticed the 2005 honda civic was acting strange. The heater fan was not blowing any more and the clock had gone out. I turned heatr off and clock came back. Blinkers started blinking faster and faster, then all of a sudden i heard twitching noises, all the engine warning lights and dash lights flickering and heads lights dimming, not brightning. I gave some rpm's and that did nothimg, seem to make it worse, car died and pushed it to an autozone.
We determined it was bad altenator. So i had my car towed to my parents where my dad and i replaced said altenator.
Drove great for 300 miles, then tonight on freeway, exact same thing. All the light on dash dimmed and flicker3d, blinkers blinking fast, no heater fan and then complete power lose. Used a battery pack to jump start car, made it one mile and it died. I drove with lights off because if i turned them om, they were so dimm anyway, but it would draw to much power.Jumped it again and made it about 1.3 miles, and it died, one last time and it made it half a mile to my house.
The battery is 2to3 years old, its a duralast and the car has 186k miles.
The lights never went bright, always dim and dimmer.
Here is the thing. Earlier today, the battery light came on. Went right to autozone and they put that tester thing on it and said battery was 99% charged and holding. All tests passed.
Now i am as confused as a snowman in hawaii.
Ohhh, engine light did come on but i can never get my phone to pull the code because the car dies before hand haha.
Ill try to pull it if i can
So could it be:
Short
Alt
Battery
Relay
Ignition coil
Thanks guys
