Hi Guys, Couldn't log on to this forum for a long time owing to busy work schedule and ofcourse the car was running smooth. But recently I had this issue with the electrical system for which I fix 100%. To begin with my Nissan Cefiro A33 starts in the morning without any problem and during the day time it runs smoothly with AC and radio on. But during night time, when the lights are on, and while its running, I could observe that the dashboard illumination dims time to time and at the time it dim, the radio and the AC is also switching off. head lamps also dims time to time. I showed the problem to few mechanics and they ran some tests for which following actions were taken time to time. 1. One guy told me that it must be something wrong with the alternator and asked me to get it serviced which I did and the problem vanished for few days but again it appeared. 2. Then his view was that the battery might be defective which I couldnt agree because Its only been one and half years I replaced the battery from A*W 3. Then I took the car to A*W and they had a good look at it and their view was that its not the battery but the defective alternator but replacing the alternator with a second hand one would cost me something like 45K. Can someone please advice me if this issue could be addressed with less cost. Are there any reliable mechanics that would assist me in this regard. Otherwise my only option is turn in to A*W for their reliable but costly service. Regards
