Gauge cluster light problem

When I was out tonite my battery and brake light flickered on and off at the same time a couple of times. One time it did it when I was using my turn signals. I don't remember if the other times it did if it was from my turn signals or not. Has anyone seen this happen before?

Thanks for your reply, but I'm sorry, thats pretty much all that was going on when it happened.My lights weren't dim at all. Stereo's bass wasn't cutting out either. So I don't think it was the battery.

I'm not sure if this applies to Nissan but I know that on some Toyotas...

Check your brake fluid level... on Toyotas if the brake fluid is low, the battery light also goes on... dunno why... it's happen on like 3 of our old toyotas.

my friends sentra did that and it was her alternator. NIssan said most of them do that when the alternator is dieing. you may at a minimum want to have it tested..
