Nissan Repair: 97 Nissan Altima, nissan altima, battery failure


Question
Hi ya. My wife has a 97 Altima and driving home from work today it died on her. Right before it died all the warning lights came on, even the E brake light, though it wasn't on at the time. I went to pick her up and the lights were dim, all of her warning lights were still on. She was able to turn it over to move it, but then its rpm's dropped down and it just died.
- I didn't have a chance to go back and look at it yet, but I'm thinking battery, alternator, belt? Maybe a fun combo of both.  

Answer
i am 100% positive it is your belt.  an alternator or battery failure will send a signal to your ECU which will show up on your dash on the voltage light and its the only one that will light up.  a belt that breaks will light up everything and slowly drain your system until it stalls.  belt should be around 10 dollars and about an hour for labor.  these belts are nice and tucked under everything.  good luck and e-mail me your results.  xxp_sebby@yahoo.com.
