Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2009Alternator replaced, problems still exist?
I recently had my car breakdown with the battery light/brake light service engine lights on. I got the alternator replaced two weeks ag but all three lights suddenly came back on while driving. The batter itself is relatively new, about 6 months old. The only thing I notic that seems to be related to power is that my windshield wipers are ver slow at all speeds. What else could be the problem -- Bluphis Message Origin: TRAVEL.co On 3/29/09 9:47 AM, in article Bluphish.3ptg5j@no-mx.forums.travel.com, > I recently had my car breakdown with the battery light/brake light + > service engine lights on.

If it was from the local FLAPS, it is possible that the replacement alt is bad right off. The Chinese stuff they sell in those places is not known for quality. FLAPS?? Google doesn't provide any info. More important question, what's the voltage with the engine running and a good digital voltmeter (Fluke 77 or equivalent). > On 3/29/09 9:47 AM, in article Bluphish.3ptg5j@no-mx.forums.travel.com, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > possible that the replacement alt is bad right off.

Check all of the grounds. Bad grounds cause a lot of problems. Striker > I recently had my car breakdown with the battery light/brake light + > service engine lights on.
