CHECK - won't disconnect the battery while car is running!!
wd-40 around the alt BUT not the belts
Bill - maybe i can swing by tonight just to pick up the helms to see if there's a blown fuse or something because the speedo doesn't work either
plan to take Friday off if this doesn't fix itself

Steve, which board do you use?
This happened when I cleaned my engine bay with the powerwasher. The connections that go into the firewall are not sealed correctly and often cause shorts to the interior lighting. The prelude tail lights and brake lights are also on the same relay as the interior lights, namely the gauge pod. This is done so if you have an electrical issue or you blow a fuse for your taillights you'll know right away. I would check the connections from the fusebox to the harness that goes into the firewall. I dried mine up and it was the cause of the problem.
Hope this helps

Give up on preludepower it's a waste of time.
Either pay the $6 for preludeonline.com or use Absoluteprelude. Anyone that knows anything about the car including myself are on those two boards, that's it.
