Alternator . . . maybe?
I just bought an '01 Civic EX, manual, ~100k. It's a wonderful car, and I love it.
Today, though, I began having some odd problems. It's fairly consistent with alternator problems I've had before, but I've never owned a manual transmission, so I'm not certain.
On the interstate, my ABS indicator light came on. Then the SRS. Then the AC quit working, then the radio. When I depressed the clutch, everything was fine again--until I released the clutch, anyway.
Tonight, driving home, same thing happened, only this time the headlights dimmed. Again, when I put the clutch down, it was fine--let it up, dim.
About two blocks from home, the malfunction light came on, and stayed on.
Is this maybe my alternator going out?
Thanks
