civic 06 flickering lights exterior & interior

Hello.

About 3 months or 4 I don't remember exactly, I replace my alternator, and auto tensione, belt. My battery is about year and half old bought it at walmart value power it has 650cca.

Yesterday I noticed my headlights, parking lights, and taillights and my dome and map lights( both of these are LED) they are flickering awhile idling, when I'm driving goes away and after awhile they don't flicker anymore awhile idling... I took off my amp, aftermarket double din radio to see if that cause... I use my multimetere and alternator is putting out 14+ moving back and forward with lights on no radio or ac. with light off stay at 14.20volts.... What could be the problems?

OEM alternator or aftermarket?
All chassis and engine grounds tight and corrosion free?
Alternator mounting bolts are tight?

Re: civic 06 flickering lights exterior & interior

So not an oem alternator, grab an OEM one from a junkyard and see if that fixes it

Agree, once everything else is checked.

A junk yard OEM alternator is better then a new aftermarket.

Re: civic 06 flickering lights exterior & interior

There's 2 wires broken right off? Hard to tell in the picture.
Honda will sell the harness, will be alot cheaper from the junkyard.
The new alternator from oriellys may still be junk but make sure the harness is good first

Re: civic 06 flickering lights exterior & interior

That green stuff is the copper oxidizing. Those wires could be a problem though.
