03 Maxima Power Issues!! Please help died on side of road.
Okay I am going to start with I live in New England, and I just got hit with the nemo storm. After I dug my car out and it was running for about a half hour, I noticed the break light and the battery light were on. My emergency break was off, so I kept driving thinking it was just an electrical wire loose or something.

About ten minutes into my drive I noticed my radio started going in and out, and then a few minutes after that I started losing power. My car was still started but it didnt have acceleration, Even if i stomped on the gas.

At this point the break light, battery, and ABS light are all on. In gears D, R 3,2,1 It does not rev, or accelerate at all if I push on the gas pedal. But in Park and Neutral It will rev with a Lot of power.

At this point I realise my power is dying as well, It has problems starting if i Turn it off but I have this power pack thing in that will charge the battery and it will start. Still with dimming power.

I am reading catalytic converter and alternator. What are thoughts?

No check engine light, and I dont have anything to get a Code .

The brake and battery lights together mean that the alternator is not charging. The battery is running down powering all the electrical functions. You need to get another alternator.

Thank you, So is the alternator the reason my drive gears and reverse gears dont have any power? or is this a seperate issue

I don't know if the no power issue is because of the battery. There's only one way to find out - see what happens after you get the alternator replaced.
