Direct Drive Fully
mechanics! i need your help! its a 95 honda passport!?
ok, hubby recently replaced the alternator belts,and didn't tighten them down all the way, which caused his alternator to go out. anyway, we have gotten all of that fixed, but now the battery keeps dieing, which i know is a direct cause of the alternator dieing-but hubby won't listen to me , only the autozone guys, which will not replace the battery cause it holds a charge, just not fully charged. but here is my question. i have been driving at night and the lights go from regular low beam, to very dim, back up to low beam. if i have high beam on, they completely black out and back on again. i am scared to drive at night, since this has happened twice already. what could be making the lights do this? the dash lights don't go out or dim when this happens. hubby is away at school for 2 more weeks, and i am 8 months prego and have a 6yr old. i don't need stranded somewhere. if its somethign i can get fixed, please help!
Still sounds like a bad alternator. But not tightening the belts would NOT affect the alternator. I'd ask autozone to put their tester on the ALTERNATOR to verify its output under load. Another possibility is the battery cable is loose, corroded or partially broken. not allowing the full voltage to get to it. check the large thick cable connection on the alternator, starter and the battery.

Costa Rica Driving In The Mountains
I have driven the roads of Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Greece, the USA, Australia, Indonesia and India.
While driving in Indonesia was merely harrowing, the experience of driving in Indian traffic has left a permanent imprint on my nervous system.
Well, the intensity of driving in India pales in comparison to that of driving in Costa Rica.
Driving on the roads in Costa Rica is like playing Russian roulette. Is that next bend in the road loaded? You never know what will suddenly come at you from around the next curve.
You just don't know what to expect because there is simply no driving culture here. It's as if the country as a whole has moved within a decade from horse travel and ox-carts to motorized travel. There is no set of mutually understood rules on how to behave on the roads.
Instead you are faced with a kind of Jeckyll and Hyde situation as the normally polite and friendly Ticos (Costa Ricans) turn into arrogant macho monsters when they get behind the wheel.
Once seated in a vehicle it seems the average driver somehow cuts off all contact with the outside world, remaining fully immersed in his own personal movie. This means he has virtually no awareness of what other vehicles are doing, and how they are moving. Consequently moves can be sudden and unpredictable - usually causing my adrenals to inject a massive jolt of adrenalin into the blood.
Classic maneuvers are indicating a right turn then turning left; stopping in the road to chat with someone while traffic backs up behind, oblivious to what's going on behind; cutting corners when turning into road, seemingly unable to manage a clean 90 degree turn; or simply stopping directly in the driving lane with no prior indication at all. Another very popular move is pulling out into the road without checking for oncoming traffic.
If the driver in front puts his emergency flashers on, watch out! This is the Tico way of communicating that they are about to do, well, just about anything at all, and you have been duly warned. They now fully expect anything bad which happens as a result of their action to be your fault, because they have done due diligence by putting the emergency lights on.
Recently while approaching an exit ramp from a three-lane highway, the car in front put his flashers on and simply stopped. Since we were trying to exit behind him, we had to slam on the brakes and sit there with cars approaching from behind at high speed. The driver appeared quite relaxed and comfortable with this driving behaviour, looking both puzzled and annoyed at our honking.
Potholes and Road Hazards
Potholes are everywhere, some so deep they'll break your axle. They can pop up suddenly in the most unexpected places. Missing manhole covers abound.
There is only local help in marking these hazard sites. Some caring local person will stick a branch from a bush into the hole to mark it, sometimes draped with a plastic bag to catch your attention. That's about all the help you'll get, so you cannot let your attention wander from the road.
Pedestrians
Pedestrians are often in great danger but don't seem to acknowledge it. Drivers give them scant regard, even on marked pedestrian crossings.
The exception to this general rule sometimes occurs when a driver sees a pretty girl waiting to cross the road, suddenly and unexpectedly comes to a complete stop (causing a chain reaction of frantic braking and backing up traffic behind), and with a generous hand gesture waves the lucky recipient across the road.
Such spontaneous manifestations of courtly mannered courtesy are natural setups for accidents, but the driver gets to feel like a true gentleman, and that's what's important, right?
In the mountains there are deep V-shaped gutters on either side of the road (to channel the torrential rains) and there is almost never a sidewalk for pedestrians, so they really have no choice but to walk on the road.
The strange thing is that the pedestrians themselves seem to have no concept of the danger they face. They are totally unfazed by the sight of heavy steel boxes traveling at 8 feet per second blasting by within inches of their bodies.
Pedestrians will often keep walking 3 and 4 abreast in seeming nonchalance at the sight of oncoming traffic: either nerves of steel or no imagination.
Women will sometimes walk with their young children on the traffic side of the road, contrary to the normal protective instinct to guard the child. This kind of thing strongly indicates to me that people must be taught safe road behaviour: it doesn't appear to come naturally.
In Costa Rica's criminal code there is apparently no such thing as vehicular manslaughter, but (incredibly), should such an event happen twice to a driver, his license may be taken away for 10 years!
According to the Tico Times (July 20, 2007) an average of 600 deaths a year occur through traffic accidents.
The paper further mentions that in 2005 Costa Rica rated first in the Americas and fourth in the world in traffic injury per head of population.
Deaths are sometimes commemorated where they happened, painted on the road with a big yellow heart with halo above. There are often clusters of these on major four lane highways where pedestrians, lacking an overhead crossing, attempt to cross the road on a daily basis.
Most of the deaths on the road happen through drunk driving. We've seen unbelievable drunk driving behaviour coming back home at night from the main city of San José. And there is not much by way of control from the traffic police (the ‘transito'). So we try to restrict our driving to daytime as much as possible, and avoid Friday and Saturday night driving altogether.
There are about one million cars in Costa Rica. Not all are insured or even registered. Many would simply not pass the annual car roadworthiness test, so the owners simply don't bother with it.
There is effectively no generally applied driver education, roads are in poor condition, policing appears to be more about bribes than enforcement. On mountain roads there are no overtaking lanes, leading to long lines of assorted cars, trucks and motorcycles trailing slow moving buses.
Crossing double yellow lines to overtake is the norm, and you have to do it or suffer a tedious journey looking at the back of a bus encased in a permanent cloud of black billowing diesel exhaust. Many Tico drivers won't wait for a clear shot at this, but forge ahead into blind curves recklessly. We've witnessed many a hair-raising near miss.
Suggestions for Mountain Driving:
• Avoid driving at night. In the mountain areas street lighting is largely unavailable. Potholes are effectively invisible, as are pedestrians, who wear no reflectors on themselves. Glare from the high-beam of oncoming traffic makes it difficult to see. People seldom dip their high-beam lights for oncoming traffic. You are also most likely to encounter the drunk drivers at night, especially Friday and Saturday nights.
• Drive defensively. This means at a speed appropriate to conditions, where you can brake effectively if suddenly needed. Small towns have developed right to the very edge of the road, children and dogs can appear out of nowhere. Never take your eyes off the road, not for a second. Mountain roads are very winding and you never know what can come around the bend at you.
• A comprehensive insurance (from INS, the only insurer in the country, with agents in every little town) which covers all damage to your own car is a good idea. That protects you against the damage caused by being hit by an uninsured car.
Oh, and if you do have an accident while driving, here's an important tip. Don't move the car. Yes, that's right; the cars must stay exactly as they are until the INS (state insurance) inspector and the traffic police arrive, take photos, make measurements and write their report. This causes enormous problems for the traffic flow, with backups extending for miles, but that's how it's done here.
Vaya con Dios!
