Hi. I have an 84 nissan 4X4 z24 and the other day i went to start it and noticed the dome light wasn't on when i opened the door i also noticed the key chime wasn't working but both of these worked as soon as i started the truck...but the volt meter was only reading 12 and it's usually around 14 and the batt light was on.. i also noticed at night the brake lights didn't work until i started the truck...i drove it for a couple of days like this because it never seemed the battery was dying...but finally it did... so i took the alt to auto zone and it passed..but i bought i new one anyway because i didn't know what else it could be...i put the new alt on and it's still doing the same thing...please any help would be appreciated....

did you have the batt checked ??

hi zanegrey...i charged the battery and it started the truck so i guess that means the batt's holding a charge...but if you think it still could be the battery let me know and i'll get it tested....thanks

the batt can take a charge and still be bad.

it could have a cel that is bad or the acid is not up to snuff..

get it tested..

hi zanegrey i found out the problem it was one of the fusible links running to the posi part of the batt...i took it and cleaned the connector now its working like a charm...thanks for the help bro
