01 Mazima 169K miles Last night coming home my BRAKE light AND battery light came on at the same time - freaked me out. So do I need a new battery OR alternator? DH isn't home so I don't want to go trekin' down to advance when it might not even be the battery.
Usually the battery light is a good indication of the alternator going bad. Check the brake fluid level as that may be what triggered the brake light indicator. Mike
Check brake fluid just to be safe, but I would check the battery first, most likely the alternator has gone out. If both came on in a chevrolet, I would say put an alternator in in hands down, but being a Nissan, hard to say. Go to TAG, they will check it for you. Tell them I sent ya Good Luck honey
I just don't want to get 1/2 way down the beltline and end up on the side of the road. That would suck. :lol: I'll have it checked out Monday. The car starts but I really don't know how far I can go - ya know.:?
