My car caught on fire.

My car caught on fire.
My alternator caught on fire, it seems like the positive contact wasnt tightened enough on the alt. and it was arching and finally caught the rubber seal on fire...no damage really. I also am having problems with my door lights and guages, they dont light up and i think i have a bad ground somewhere, but where should i look???

there was a recall for the alternators catching on fire. If the alternator was the original nissan one and you still have it and the car was never brought in for the recall, you could get the money for the altenator you bought.

I never received the notice for my 98 maxima. They replaced the recalled alternator for free when I braught it in for inspection at a dealership 5 years ago. It already had at least 85,000 miles on it.

the recall has expired, i called nissan and they said there wasnt any recall, but right now theyre looking in the archives for one. maybe theyll let u bring it in. when they make a recall they set certain dates for you to bring in your vehicle and if you didnt do it then, i dont think they can do anything...

anyone know if a 96 alternator will work on a 98?
