Hi, just yesterday I started my truck (05 Frontier 2wd - 25,000 mi) and noticed my battery light was on. I just got back from a deployment and purchased this truck used and then drove it on a 1000 mi trip up to my parents house. Didn't have an issue, but the guy that I bought the truck from told me about an issue with the gas gauge not working. I talked to someone at a Nissan dealership and they said it was probably part of the recall.
On to my main issue. So my truck was parked in the garage for about a week without being driven. Yesterday I started it up and my battery light was on, but the truck started up just fine and I moved it in the garage. Today I got in it to go to town and my brake light was on. Like the one that comes on when you have the parking brake on. I released the parking brake to no avail. My voltage gauge is also reading low, like its not getting a good charge from the alternator. I charged the battery, which was kinda low, with a trickle charger but the battery light was still on. I'm wondering if there are any tricks you guys might know about this particular truck. My next move will be to get my multi meter out and check my alternator. The owners manual said something about checking the belt to see if its loose? Anyway any help would be greatly appriciated. I live about 150 mi from the nearest Nissan dealer/service center so I really need to fix these issues my self if I can. Tomorrow I will also take it into and auto parts store and have them hook it up to the computer and see what I get.
