    Can anyone help me out please

    Car: 1991 Honda Accord Wagon

    Problem: Car was running this morning but as I was reversing from the
    driveway the car simply died

    Symptoms:
    1) I have been seeing the battery light go on and off for the past week
    while driving. However, the lights, horn all are still working.
    2) The alarm of the car comes on and I was not even able to turn it off with
    my keys. Jiggled battery wire and finally it turned off
    3) One month back the MAIN fuse was replaced because the car suddenly died
    while driving


    I can no longer start this car. Alarm comes on and goes off. Lights, horn
    all working. Sometimes it make some noise like a fan running on the left
    side under the wood while I am trying to start.

    What could be the problem. Please help!

    Alternator brushes are the first thing that comes to mind just now.



    And nobody tried to figure out why it blew?



    What happens when you turn the key? Be specific. Chugga-chugga, but no
    cough or catch? No chugga-chugga? Clicks only?



    Alarm comes on and goes off. Lights,

    Has anybody checked battery voltage? It's possible you simply don't have
    enough battery juice to operate the starter because the alternator's not
    charging it.

    What happens when you jump-start it?

    Did anyone check system voltage when the car was running?
