My Xterra died on me when i was driving home. I had turned on the heater and thats when all my lights went dim, and all the check lights came on. I was able to get it home but tried to start it and it wouldn't start. A week before this happen I had a belt that made noise and then a couple days later the belt didn't make any noise and thats when my car died.
Sounds like the belt has something to do with charging the battery. We had a truck that the alternator belt was slipping so the battery was not charging enough to run the lights and would go dead when shut off.
I suggest you begin by charging and testing the battery, your description indicates it is discharged.
Why it is discharged remains to be seen - you need to check the alternator drive belt and the alternator charging.

Hi, check the fuse box for a blown fuse in the radio slot. sometimes during jumps, this fuse will blow.

Distributor,open it up and take a look under he rotor.The bearings usually brake and will not allow the car to restart.

Could be the distributor. Bearings are notorious for failing which affects the cam position sensor in the unit. Did you have any codes thrown to the display ?

it is absolutely not the knock sensor so dont waste time and money on it.your stalling condition is due to something else.

I have the same problem as well.
I have the same problem. I can be driving and the vehicle will almost completely shut off all electrical power several times. If I can get'er keep her running, everything seems fine until I stop and shut her off and later recrank. It was intermittent but now it is happening more often.
Now the vehicle will not crank and am afraid that the starter is shot also.
