Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing persistent low voltage issues even after replacing the alternator and installing a new battery. These problems may arise from a malfunctioning alternator that fails to generate sufficient voltage, despite being new. Additionally, loose or corroded connections in the electrical system can hinder the proper flow of electricity, contributing to low voltage concerns. Damaged wiring within the vehicle's electrical system might also cause voltage irregularities, impacting the charging process. A blown fuse related to the charging system could disrupt electricity flow, leading to similar issues. Furthermore, some owners find that even new batteries can be defective or unable to hold a charge properly, resulting in ongoing low voltage problems. Lastly, issues with the voltage regulator in the alternator may also cause low voltage output. To resolve these issues, a thorough diagnosis and testing of all connections, wiring, alternator condition, and battery functionality are essential.
