1987 nissan sentra alternator squealing. Ive readjusted the dang thing about 7xs now and I even bought that spray on stuff for the belt and it still squeals. Anyone have any tips for that??

Now the lights gauge (red) on the dash its intermittently lighting up. Looked in haynes and nothing (of course). Anyone??

Last thing does anyone know an easy way to get at the windshield wiper reservoir? Besides taking the whole front quarterpanel off??

Thanks Lori

Remove the plastic that goes around your wheel in the wheel well.

Sounds like your alternator is about to fail. I would take it and have it tested. If the alternator passes, it could be the load output for some reason is making the alternator max out. First thing to check is the battery, if the alternator passes.
