i just started a thread like this, another guy did, and now another one. Wouldn't hurt to check out a couple threads or search, but anyways, it's probably your alternator. This is what happened to mine and it's the alternator. Lucky for me there was a recall on 97 maxima alternators so I get mine fixed for free.

I also wouldn't drive your car too much since the battery probably isn't recharging.

Yea definately your alternator. Dont drive it until you fix it or you will get stuck somewhere.

+1 for Alternator. Do a load and no-load test. Make sure that there are 12V+ under no load and 13-14.5V+ under load across the terminals of your alternator. If NG, check that belt is not loose. You may be in for a rebuild.

Brake light usually means low brake fluid.
