Default Honda Prelude '91 - charge indicator is on???

Hallo!I have a strange problem - 3 days ago I drove to my job and then wasn't any problem with my car, but when I have to go home I started the engine and the "charge indicator" was on. I was driving for a 20 miles and then the indicator lamp turned off by itself and I contiued driving to my home without any problems.Yesterday I went to the bank and the light was off. When I finish my job over there and start the car the light gets on. And it is still on and today.I will be happy if there is anyone who can help me to deceide what is the problem!

Check belt tension and for cracks in the belt, also the wiring harness on the alternator for a loose connection. Clean the battery connections and make sure they are tight. If those are fine and the lights still on, sounds like it's time for a new alternator and voltage regulator. REPLACE BOTH!!

the brushes in the alternator are worn out. vibration and spring force are moving them out but at this point order a brush pack for the alt and replace it. This is cheaper then the alt and STAY away from aftermarket REMAN alts. OKY
