Why are both Brake and Battery light on in my 04 Altima?
10

Asked by CoolCruise Mar 31, 2014 at 10:31 AM about the 2004 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Today my battery and brake light where on in the dashboard and wouldn't go off, my battery is fairly new I got it at the end of 2012 and I did my brakes last year so I'm not sure what's going on. However I have noticed that my temp and compass meter on the rearview mirror is also out and I recently had to replace a blown fuse and bulb for my headlights. Can someone please help me

Sounds like the Alternator is going. Have that checked out first.

I have 2003 altima, my BRAKE & BATTERY lights came on together. I checked alternator, it wasn't that, I changed my belt tensioner and serpentine belt but it wasn't that. I then opened FUSE box next to battery, and checked all fuses. I notice 10 amp fuse labeled 10A-ALT S blown out. I turned off car and changed fuse, PROBLEM fixed. Lights turned off. NOTE: I'm glad I changed belt tensioner cause now my car it's not making GRINDING noise.
