i just replaced the altenator on my 91 Sentra E a few months ago (about 10k miles ago) and since then, the condition of the car has dropped, which has me not caring for the car as much. but anyway, just yesterday, i got a dead battery, and me and two friends could not get it push started for our lives (hell we towed it with another car to get it moving) but i got jumper cables, and it started right up, i then drove it 10 miles home from work, which is 95% highway driving at 70mph. i didnt have any problems till i was off the high way, and the engine wasnt revving (redlights, etc) well with the car home, i decided its time for a new battery, cuz the old one was starting to leak at the top, and had some NASTY yellow/lime green sludge at the bottom (from sitting on the battery tray) now that the battery has been "broken in" im still having the same problem of: when the idle RPMS drop (i have an erratic idle) the door/seatbelt/lights are on buzzer buzzes once, then turns off once the idle is correct, and the BRAKE light flickers, but i have yet to see the battery light come on. which is another problem, when you start the car and all the idiot lights check themselves, sahouldnt the battery light come up to? i havent seen the battery light up since the last altenator died, and when i had the dead battery, that light was nowhere to be seen.
does this sound like an altenator, or just a reallllllly bad electrical problem (cuz when i drive through big puddles in the rain the buzzer will start going crazy
in addition the entire bottom half of the alt is covered in oil
. this is more of a rant, but id like to know if it sounds like the altenator or something else.
