Okay so my Honda Delsol has been having a alternator problem for the past two days, finally dying last night (christmas night of all times and im working on it in this wonderful north east snow storm). I heard of a problem that fraying wires would cause a short which in turn causes fuse 15 to go. My problem is that the fuse location for the diagram is completely different then what I have. All I see online for diagrams is SO4-A11 B. I have a SR2-A01 1 on the fuse panel cover. I know this is a randoms and probably stupid question to ask but I'm begging for an answer so I don't have to drop the alternator.

 

If there is anything else I could answer on this question please let me know I'm desparate on an answer

 

Fuse 15 is for 1996 and later models. I thought they quit making the Del Sol in 1995.

You should check if battery voltage is reaching the black and yellow wire at the alternator with the key on. It comes from fuse #24 under the dash on a 1992 to 1995 model. But I think when the fuse is blown the engine will not run (there could be a break in the wiring somewhere though). Also check for battery voltage on the big white output wire at the alternator, the one that has a screw terminal. It should have voltage all the time.

 

I'm terribly sorry but I forgot to mention this car was made in 1997. The Delsol was from 1993 - 1997, This is the final year they made it.

 

Then the fuse is under the dash, I think there are little numbers molded into the fuse block itself. It's 7.5 amps.

It being a 1997, you should get under the car and inspect the wires in any case. The problem occurs where the harness from the alternator goes over the bracket that braces the intake manifold to the block.

 

Its late now but I will do that in the morning. The storm isn't even half over and we've already got a foot of snow here :/..... Sometimes I hate NE
