Electrical problem
2004 Honda Accord 4 cyl Automatic 65,000 miles

I recently had a new alternator put in. The battery tests good. That same night my headlights would not come on. Everything else works, car runs, lights work, but just not my headlights. What is the problem?

Thanks

Hi monalee10,

You mean both highand low beams don't work?

Have you checked the fuses?

We checked the fuses, they were fine. Took it back into the dealer and he said the alternator problem caused the headlights to burn out so we had new ones put in. Does that sound about right? Both high and low beams were out.

Don't seems so right.

If the alternator was bad, the headlights would only be affected if they were turned on.

After replacement of the bulbs was the problem resolved?

It never rains but pours, lol

At least the problem is resolved so you can stop worrying.

Have a nice day.
