Hello my fellow niconauts. So here is my problem, I was driving to my house, when sundenly my stereo shut off than the lights when dim and the speedomeder when to zero than it started draging itself, after that it died on me, then try to started it but no budge, so do anybody knows what it could be?
BTW: I was reading and found that it could probably be the AF100A Fuse, but not sure and yes I checked all the small fuses.

sounds like your ALT died, causing your battery to have no more juice left.

This and probably the fuse too... Remove the alternator, take it to get checked and charge the battery

Well I was seeing in the car but no battery sign turns on in the dash and when I saw the AF100A fuse it seem kind of corrosive so I don't know if it has a lot to do with the car doin this stuff, what other stuff shoul I check?

You can probably grab somebody's used one on the classifieds for the cost of shipping. Never heard of anyone rebuilding one themselves.

Yea, but it looks like there are not a lot of people selling the 90 Amp alternator or are already sold.
