My Nissan Sentra 2000 Car 1.8L Engine is showing up the the Brake and Battery Light on the Dash Board. I went to Autozone and they told its Alternator problem and i changed it. Even after changing it still showing up on the Dashboard. Changed Alternator twice thinking that the first bought one was bad. That's not the case. I have already spent lot of $ for this and still today it's not fixed. Any Solution for this problem will be greatly helpful.
Thank you.
Help my car keeps dieing brark/n battery light on dash r on!! i dont know what to do---single mom needs help
Have you see the breaks liquid level?
You may have a bad ground somewhere
Now that u changed atl did u rest codes have them reset ya or unplug battery for few min back in see if code comes back then ok
Have you checked to see if the system is charging, just because you replaced the alt. it does not mean the system is charging the battery, test it, turn on the lights heater blower motor (to load the system) and put a volt meter on the battery at idle it should read at least 13.0 volts, if not check the connector to the alternator for heat damage, verify the terminals are clean and tight not discolored, also clean the battery cables, if there is a charging system fuse verify it is ok and not blown.
You may have not installed the brake wear sensor back on correctly.
Look I know you haven't checked the items I outlined, until you do these checks of the alternator wiring you will not be able to move on with the repair, I did auto electric work for 20 years at a new car dealer, saw it all, these are the same things I would check if you brought your car to my shop, verify the system is charging and you have at least 13.0 volts at the battery, if not pull the alternator connector and check it closely, try this before you flat say no to the solution, if you need additional assistance do a live chat session, then we can lead you through he repair step by step, OK?

I didnot understand the solution which was provided to me. Can you please make it clear.
Thank you.
Hi,
Thanks for your solution.
We have changed the Front Brake Pads recently because it is making noise while running the car and also when i apply the brakes. Do you think it might be because of inproper fixing of the brakes?
Thanks for you help.
Hi,
After replacing the Old Alternator with the new one. I drove the car for 2 days and i have used the lights and AC at that time. Again the Brake and Battery Symbol after 2 days running with the new Alternator in the car. The head lights worked properly for 2 days. Initially the Garage Technicians thought the problem is with the Alternator and replaced it. Still the problem exists and again as the Symbols still showing up.....they thought the Alternator from Auto Zone is not good one and again Replaced it. But its still showing up.
Thanks for your help.
Do you mean that something went wrong. In that case we have to hear sound right. Then why the Battery Symbol will show up on the Dashboard.
Thank you.
