Hey guys, hopefully you guys can help save me some expensive diagnosing costs..

My wife was driving our Pathfinder, she stopped at a light, without warning, the truck just died. She turned the key off, then tried to start it again, and NO LIGHTS at all on dashboard and no cranking. She turned key off again, then car started but a little slower than usual and she drove to work fine.

I did change the belts a few months ago but it has seemed to be fine. I thought it might be the battery but if it couldn't sustain the car, i doubt it would have enough juice to start it again.

Any ideas? She is now freaked out to drive it as she is scared to get caught in traffic.
