My car is Nissan Altima-1994, it is 180,000 miles. two days ago it starts to give me two warning check battery and check breaks. The lights together some times light on and some time off, but yesterday they came off completely, but at the same time I started to hear a noise and the car doesn’t not accelerate fast as before. Today the noise increased and when I stopped the car and tried to turn it on after few seconds, it gave me ABS warning and did not start at all. I took a jump and it turned on after one second of jump but the ABS warning is still on and the noise still there. Do you think it is battery or Alternator. For the breaks it works fine.

Suggested Repair

Have the alternator tested before replacing parts. A local auto parts store can often test it for free; the expert identifies the alternator as the cause of the warnings, noise, and no-start.

Conversation Summary

A 1994 Nissan Altima with 180,000 miles showed intermittent battery and brake warning lights, then a noise, slower acceleration, an ABS warning, and a no-start that responded to a jump. The brakes still worked. The expert said the alternator is the problem and recommended testing it free at a local auto parts store.
