CEL 20- Electrical Load Detector. :(
if you get this code what problems would it cause or what problems cause the code? since i got this code. the only gauge that works on my cluster is the tach and engine temp, battery voltz, water temp, and speedo worked before but they don't now. any info is thanked in advance.
have you checked on honda-tech for that code?
By the way, the electrical load detector (ELD) is an energy saving device that turns off the alternator when it is not needed. The code could indicate either a bad ELD or faulty wiring/connectors between the ELD, alternator, and ECU.
the ELD may be located in the under hood fuse box if not look in a manual to see where it is located.
this guy had the same problem

thanks that is some good info, but i have a feeling this is different maybe. i guess to make myself feel better i need multiple opinions lol.
and that does'nt really explain my gauges not working

I would start by checking your electrical connections, also a fuse may have taken out some of your gauges, I would start off small and go from there
alternator fuse blew, thanks guys. but yesterday i replaced my heated o2 on my exhaust to get rid of code 41 which is heated o2 well that went away and now im getting a code 1 (its an o2 code also), any ideas as to if it is the same thing, is it putting me in closed loop the whole time again. let me know. thanks
When you replace this o2 was it used? If it is used chances are it's bad and replace it with a brand new one. That should get rid of the code.
