I did a search on this and came up with mixed problems and solutions. Ok, this started about 6 months ago, while driving around for a while then coming to a stop, the brake/charge light would come on and there was a buzzing coming from the fuse panel area. It was fine until recently when it started happening again. I changed out the alternator and everything was good until a few days ago, when driving with the a/c, defroster and lights on the charge light comes on very dim but when I take my foot off the accelerator pedal it goes off. It seems the fast I accelerate, the more it comes on. Could this alternator be bad also? I cleaned the grounds on the battery cables but didn't seem to help. I got the rebuilt alternator from pep boys, are these crappy?

Thanks!

My '94 Sentra LE does the exact same thing! I'll drive it hard and the battery light will illuminate brightly until I let off the gas. This is a sign of an alternator starting to go bad! I've been too lazy to replace mine though...:loser:

i have not found a "good" re manufactured alternator from any auto part stores yet.
i went through 4 in 3 months, then i went to a pull-a-part and searched through all the sentras and found a rebuilt one by NISSAN. been running great for over a year now. you have bad alternators.

Yea, Mine did this last year....i blew 4 alternators in 2 months! I got rebuilt alternators from Auto Zone. In the end i got a brand new one... Worked like a charm...
