so about a month ago we were leaving the hospital at night and i noticed some of my dash lights came on. specifically my brake, battery, light lights all came on at once. brand new red top optima, full brake fluid and no lights out. i thought about it for a day and came to the conclusion that it was the alternator. well, it was, three days later it stopped charging altogether and the car died. i put in a reman. nissan/bosch alternator and the car ran like a dream again. the lights are coming on again!!! different this time though. last time they came on when i stepped on the brakes, which makes sense. now the come on when i step on the gas and all of my lights flicker. dash lights, brake lights, interior lights, headlights, all of them. also, when the alt was new, or before the oem one broke, it would read 14.4 at idle. of course that went down when the old alt died. the new one used to read 14.4 at idle, now reads 13.8-13.9 but goes to 14.7 with revs. please help as i dont want to get stranded if it is the alt again.
