Blinking battery light

10

Asked by Colton Dec 14, 2018 at 01:46 AM about the 1990 Honda Civic CRX CRX HF

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Sooo. My problem started out more then
several months ago. I shelled out $2400 in
repairs to get my car running efficiently.
After having my car back for a week and a
half. My battery light flickers off n on. And
occasionally stays off or will stay on. From
take off at a light to shifting gears the
battery light will turn on. I've had a battery
installed and I've replaced my starter.  I'm
stumped, because I'm trying to figure out if
my alt just killed my new battery or if my
battery is just crap. I've got an AC Delco. I
know that AC Delco isn't exactly the most
reputable for a having long lasting batteries.
I've checked my connections and grounds,
everything looks good. Help me out here

I had my starter replaced, I snipped some shitty wiring and had to fix a loose connection. Overall I'm leaning more towards an alt needing to be replaced too. My batteries okayish, starter is fine. The last thing I don't want to touch is my alt. But it seems like I may have too
