Brake and battery warning Light came on why?

Hi Guys!

I am puzzled, yesterday when there was a rain and I was a bit driving fast. In my car suddenly displayed battery and brake lights warning on. I restarted my car by turning on/off several times and the light is still on.

What it could be?

I will appreciate for your help.

Thanks!

P.S. I have 1997 Nissan maxima GLE with 60,000 miles.

OMG The battery and brake light came on at the same time
ALT fuse has blown. It is located under the hood in the fuse box near the battery. In most cases this means your Alternator is dead/shorted out. Replace the fuse when you replace the alternator.
...from the stickies - last one added to the FAQ's

thatnks for great replies guys!

last question how much this alt fuse costs? and how much you paid mechanic to replace your alternator?

So I know how much i have to spend.

Funny is that alternator was replaced like 4 months ago.............. but fuse was not.
