When I am driving at night my lights in teh begin to dim as well as the headlights and eventually all the lights go out and my speedometer goes flat and random service lights pop up on the dashboard and then the entire car dies and won't restart. I have replaced the alternator and battery twice in two months and the last time was a week ago and it did this all again last night and I got some advice from a friend who had similar problems a few years ago and they repalced the O2 Oxidation Sensor and everything was fine. I'm wondering if it is possible for a faulty O2 sensor could cause these same problems.

The oxygen sensor won't do that I recommend you have the computer controlled of the alternator's field generation circuit tested
