Lotsa miles? May be time for brushes in the alternator. bob

The battery icon on this warning light misleads. It's
actually a warning light for the alternator/charging system.
Like Bob said, the first suspect is the alternator brushes.
Has this car ever had the brushes or the whole alternator
replaced?

More info appears at
http://home.earthlink.net/~honda.lioness/id13.html . Skip
down to the five quick checks (one-third of the way down)
you can do to help narrow down the problem.
