Thanks for the input, I really appreciate your help. Well, the alternator has been replaced along with a breaker and wire. I brought her home and as I rounded the corner the brake and battery light came back on. Before taking it in to check out the alternator, the cabin lights and all the switches on my hood ( tank levels, battery level pump and hood fan and light) were functioning properly. No I have no power to the tank level indicator or the battery indicator. The mechanic said he checked the isolator but it was fine. He tried to sell me 2 new batteries, and charged me to trouble shoot on top of the labor and the alternator. I'm soooooo frustrated. I feel assaulted and now it's taken my last bit of saving. What can I do now without it costing my first born maile child.

also, as I drove it to the shop the battery light and the brake light remained on. The mechanic said that at 15 apms the alternator works fine but when it gets up to 16 is when the alternator shuts down. Any help or assistance with this would be gratefully accepted!

I went out to start my 1990 Odyssee and found the battery to be dead. I jumped it and left it running and then it died about 30 minutes later. I jumped it again and took it to my neighborhood mechanic to check it to see if it was the alternator...which after he put a meter to it ... it indicated the alternator wasn't charging the engine battery. The coach lights were working during this time. The mechanic replaced the alternator with another new one and said the same thing was happening. Has anyone else had this problem? and can you maybe give me some insight into what the problem might be.
