brake light and battery light on

Sep 13, 2005 4 Replies
1997 Maxima GXE, 200,200 KM. Brake light and battery light came on and won't go off. Car drives and behaves normal. Battery is 8 months old, brake were replaced at 194,000 Km. Only thing I noticed was low power steering fluid, brake fluid was OK. When I apply hand brake 'brake light' become little brighter but stay on when I release. Thank you for help.

Alternator is bad, most likely.

The alternator is bad.

Don't use an aftermarket part or you will be bolting up another one before you know it.

use an OEM Nissan part you you'll be sorry.

I thank you NissTech, njmodi and JimV for your time and help. You were all correct it was alternator but unfortunately before I received NissTech's advice aftermarket alternator was already put on. Lets hope for best. Thanks again.
