Yesterday my brake and battery lights came on in my 2001 maxima. Then this morning, my wipers were not working at full strength. When pulling into the neighborhood, the entire dashboard when completely dead (tach, speedo, oil, gas, radio, etc.). What is going on?
the alternator is bad and needs replacing.
Spend the $$ and get a factory OEM part or you will be doing the job again before you know it.

Weak alternator or weak battery, or both. The battery light comes on to indicate that the battery is not charging, the brake light comes on when the ABS senses low voltage. Because the dash board is controled by a microprocessor, it shuts down when the system voltage goes low. And the windshield wipers need no further explanation.
