I have a 2001 Honda Civic and just last year I replaced my alternator twice, my clutch, got a brand new battery, some sensor cord or whatever they are called. Usually I would take my car to my uncle who is a certified mechanic, however I'm hundreds of miles away from home and am incredibly afraid of driving my car all the way back to the bay area. On my drive to southern California my battery light flashed three separate times as soon as I hit like an hour out if my destination. I was reading up on some reasons this could be happening, I just can't decide if my story is any different tHan others. Last year my dad originally replaced the alternator and some belt that was messed up to. Well the car ran fine for about 3 months however whenever I turned my AC on this loud obnoxious squealing sound would happen. Well needless to say 3 months later my car broke down again. This time my uncle fixed the alternator and the belt, everything was running smooth, then the squealing sound again. A few more minus later it broke down again, this time it was my clutch, the person my dad took my car to changed the battery as well, I had him fix some plug things that weren't getting the right signal from the alternator and now it's flashing. It's sooo frustrating, I'd rather not take it to the shop if it's a simple job but i might not have any other choice. Just wanted to see if this has happened to anyone else and why.

either a bad alternator, loose wire connection (alternator power wire or loose battery clamps), or bad/loose belt.

Do an AVR test and you'll be able to find out if your alternator or battery is bad. If they both passed, then you might have some loose somewhere, like gearbox say!

Keep us update!
