I have a 1990 Infiniti I30 LE. Last night the ABS light came on, the AIR BAG light was flashing, and it seemed to lose power and sputter a bit. I got it home and thougt maybe it was the battery. I put a brand new battery in it last night and drove it this morning. It has it's power back and drove very well for the 50 mile round trip. But the BRAKE light and Battery light remained on. Is there some sort of reset button I need to find or is there some other problem that should be addressed? It has 112,000 miles and the oil has been changed every 2500 miles. I have taken great care and routinely do general and preventative maintenance. The new battery has 550 cold cranking amps as opposed to 500 that I removed. Any suggestions?

It sounds like its not charging with the battery light on i would have the alternator tested.Take it to a auto oarts store like auto zone and have them test your alternator.
