The battery icon (idiot lamp) has turned on a couple times recently in my 2001 Maxima, 68k mi's. At the same time, the brake light also comes on. It's happened during or after a rain... both light after about 10 minutes of driving.
Has anybody experienced this problem?? Since it happened during or after rain I wonder if water could be getting into an electrical connection. Any suggestions which/where I should look?
It is not a slipping belt as that was easy enough to check under the hood.
Could the alternator be "failing"... not completely bad yet but getting there. Is it common for the brake lamp to also light when the alternator goes bad?
