Okay, well I have a new alternator and brand new battery, both bought from Honda.
I'm having an issue where my alternator is not charging my battery. I've read somewhere, not really sure where though; that a possible solution would be to connect a booster cable from the alternator directly to the positive terminal on the battery.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

check alternator fuse....... if its good just get another one from Honda

The one under the dash? I checked it and already replaced it.

you used a multimeter to check that there isn't a voltage increase at the battery

Boss-S2K

Yeah, the battery will only read 12.5 at the most. Terminals are connections on battery are clean and well connected.

Sounds to me that its just a faulty alternator. Was the fuse bad or did you change it just to be safe

Boss-S2K

It's a brand brand brand new alternator. Not reman'd. No, the fuse wasn't bad just changed it to be safe.
