What would cause 1990 Accords lights to go dim and engine shuts off like bad alternator but after sitting a few minutes it will start up again also has new battery?

A bad connection in the wiring. It can be anywhere in the vehicle's wiring, plugs and sockets etc. And even a relay contact. What ever it is will be hot or extra warm to touch because bad connections with that kind of current cause resistance heating. Look for burnt looking connection on plugs. sockets, bottom of all relays xontacts. Put some wd40 on all electrical connections including the blplattery posts lol

If you have a pacemaker or a steel plate in your head and sitting in a truck can a electromagnet shock you and destroy your alternator and battery?

Will a bad alternator drain a new battery?
Yes, it sure will. The alternator's purpose is to replenish the battery. The alternator may either drain a battery while sitting if the diodes in the rectifier leak current (like a check valve) or may just not maintain the system load while your engine is running. (not keep up to the demand/not charge at all)

Replaced the starter on a 1999 Alero now the alternator does not work Alternator was fine when checked out at the parts place but battery still runs down on the car New battery too?
Is the battery/alt warning light on? if they didn't disconnect the battery while the starter was being replaced and they accidently shorted the battery cable out it could have damaged the regulator of the alternator some of the Delphi regulators are very sensitive to that, but if it tested normal at the parts place, does it run down while driving or while sitting?
What does it mean when the battery light stays on in a 1995 Lincoln Mark 8 for two weeks after the alternator has been replaced?
re check the two wire connector to alternatorDid you check the Battery connections? Typically, you want to replace the battery with a new one when you replace the alternator. Are you getting any messages in your message center? Stuff like "check Charging System"?What voltage is the battery sitting at with the motor running and the lights on?did you consider the alternator might be bad? Yes, I know, new alternator, but that doesn't mean it's always 100% good.

Why does battery go dead if alternator and battery are good on a 2003 ford expedition?
Something is pulling power from the battery when the car is sitting idle. Check under hood, trunk, glove box lights, etc. Also can be a stuck relay. A battery may also appear good and have a dead cell. Have it tested.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE BATTERY MAY HAVE A DEAD CELL AND CANNOT HOLD A CHARGE? IS THE ALTERNATOR INFACT PUTTING OUT ENOUGH VOLTAGE TO PROVIDE THE BATTERY WITH A CHARGE, APPROX. 13 TO 14 VOLTS.
