Nissan Repair: nissan altima 98, nissan altima, charging system


Question
Hi, i have an 98 nissan altima and recently.. the car stoped while i was driving so i tough this was the alternator, i changed it and had no problem since i saw that the battery and the brake lights where having fun flashing like there was a short somewhere then the airbags lights too wanted to party a little bit.. last day the car did'nt start so i changed the battery thinking that i fully unloaded it by rolling with a finished alternator but the car still loose its juice while drive and the lights continue to goes on. could that be a computer problem?

Answer
Hi there, no I don't think is a computer problem. It seems to me that the charging system is not working properly, even with the replacement alternator. To get a lead on the problem, please have the charging system tested or if you have a digital multimeter connect it to the battery and with the engine running, a/c and headlights on, see what is the voltage and let me know.
