Fixed your thread title... Please dont make titles in all caps-- little pet peeve of mine.
IF your problem is electrical (which seems weird), I suppose it's plausable that the cable is the last thing that needs to be checked in that system. Measure resistance from end to end and see what you find.
Also, are you sure your belt was functioning properly? If the alt isnt spinning then you're not going to produce power. Also if this is the case, your car will run off of the battery untill you kill it-- but you said the battery tested fine (no charging needed?). Please clarify.
Also, I'm going to move this to our Nissan Mechanic section in a few mins (hopefully after you see this post). This isnt really KA-T related.
