Nissan Altima 2003 4 door, 3.5 l. 201142 miles
About 3 months ago. My battery light in my brake light. Come on on my car. I already had a engine light on when I'm mopped the car in January. I replaced battery. I replaced alternator. It was fine until last week. It is doing the exact same thing again. The alternator is getting juice, but it's not put now. Any use which is causing the battery go debt? So my thanking is Illinois. No in line view somewhere in that woodchuck. All the fuses in the car that I know of but I cannot find the fuse box for the past few side inside the car.

Engine cranks but won't start

Nissan Altima 1997  158000 miles
It all started when my wife left the lights on and the battery died. When we tried to jump start the car, it took a long time until it finally started and after a few minutes I went dead again. When the mechanic looked at the car, he realized the battery had problems, so we replaced it for a new one. Even then, the car kept refusing to start. Fuel pump is ok, there are no warning lights, we have no idea what could be the problem. Help!

In the positive pole there is a fuse that you can replace. It is like a small squared acrylic box right in the terminal.

Hi, I had very similar symptoms and the problem was a faulty oxigen sensor. There are two of them. one in front of the engine and another one in the back of the car, sticked to the body.

Did the Sensor fix the problem with your Altima?
Junior from United States 7 years ago
No he full of crapp just wasted money
Lou A from United States a year ago
Nissan has sent out a letter in the last couple of months (late 2022) regarding the inspection or check of the rear oxygen sensor voltage that can be performed at the dealer. Check if this helps

Accelerating and stereo problems SolvedSolved

Nissan Altima 2002  150000 miles
It is not always but it occurs to me that, as I'm driving at 70 or 80 mph, the vehicle loses power and the accelerator won't work properly. At the same time that this happens the stereo turns off. In case it has something to do, the stereo is not the agency's one, and it is connected directly to the battery. I wait for a while, and suddenly the accelerator starts working again and the stereo too as if nothing had taken place.

Hey, your problem will get worse as time goes by. I recommend you to check your alternator's amperage and voltage, which must be around 110 amp and 14.55 volts. Your problem might be a damaged diode.
BENJIE from United States 9 years ago
This happened to my Altima 2003 2.5L and I solved it by changing the alternator.

ABS indicator

Nissan Altima 2006  89000 miles
I was driving on a highway when the ABS indicator appeared on the dashboard and, at the same time, the stereo stopped working properly. An annoying noise appeared, and remained even when I turned off the stereo. After some minutes the ABS indicator finally disappeared. And there was one other electrical inconvenience: the parking brake and battery lights turned on at the same time.

Your problem is in the alternator which is starting to fail. You should check its voltage, which should be between 14.55-14.8 volts. Speed the car up and it should not oscilate.
Sophia from United States 9 years ago
You were right, the alternator was the cause of my problem, I changed it and problem solved. Thanks buddy for your help!

Engine noise

Nissan Altima 2003  127000 miles
When starting the car in cold, a noise appears as though metals where touching themselves, coming from the oil pump's location. It seems like the pump could not suck the oil properly. The engine released some blue smoke and had to be repaired, and many other parts have been changed, including: cylinder head gasket, oil pump, distribution chain, crankshaft and camshaft sensors, water pump, damper, battery, alternator, ignition coil and engine holders. I have not changed the engine's oil because I was told it was clean enough, can this be the problem? I was also thinking about the IVT or solenoid control valve, which controls the oil's pressure. Can you tell me about your experience? Thank you!

Starting

Nissan Altima 2004  72000 miles
My Altima 2008 is having problems to start the engine. In order to do this, I need to brake and then press the starting button and do this repeatedly until it finally starts. Yesterday it was only after an hour of trying that I could start the engine, and it was only when I disconnected the battery for a while. I have cleaned the battery in case there was some poor contact but the starting failure is still there. Can someone give me a hand?

J padilla from United States 8 years ago
I have just recently bought a pre owned Nissan Altima 2014. It has an issue of not starting. It has a brake push with push button to start. It will only start whenever it wants to. The doors too, they lock only when it chooses to. I want to get it fixed but have no idea of what needs to be fixed. The dealer was not knowledgable of Nissans...hopefully this can get a conclusion. A fuse or sensor maybe.

Dashboard indicators

Nissan Altima 2003  180000 miles
Suddenly after 3 hours driving my vehicle, the battery's and handbrake's indicator turned on in the dashboard. It did not stall, overheat or fail in any way, but they remained on for 10-15 minutes and then went away, appearing back after a considerable distance. This event takes place sporadically so I would like to know what should I check: alternator, fuses, dashboard, computer...? Any help would be appreciated.

You should check the alternator, which seems to be changing its voltage and thus a diode must be damaged. The voltage can be between 13.5 to 13.8 volts.

Just went through this w a 1999 Alt, e brake light and battery light on all of a sudden but not driving change. It was indeed the alternator (was putting out only 12.8) Changed it out it zero troubles since.

Car won’t start or read key fob. Stays on Security mode

Nissan Altima 2009 Altima 70000 miles
So I parked my car turned it off and I accidentally didn’t put the car in par so I put it in park after and when I came back to the car it was not allowing me to start it at all because it says on the dash the key can’t be read with, as well as the break is stiff. It also seems like the car battery will not hold a charge either now

VDC OFF and SLIP Light ON After I changed my suspension

Nissan Altima 2010 2.5 SL Automatic  81000 miles
Okay so I'm a newbie diy and I bought my car at a very great price but upon really inspecting it found out that all my suspension was shot so I replaced control arms, inner/outer tie rods and sway bar links on both sides. It was a real pain in the ass to fo those control arms. They are so much harder than the 2006 model which I've done a few times LOL Anyways now both my VDC OFF and SLIP light are on. No ABS and it's drivable but I do notice I have no traction in the front. Couldn't find any video that was related to my problem. I've already disconnected the battery and checked fluid and fuses all good. So I'm stuck.. Any suggestions??
