your what? huh?This question needs more defining. What do you mean by dash lights? Are the idiot lights glowing when the key is in ON but not after you start it? A car runs off its alternator when the engine is running, and its battery if the alternator is incapable of supplying the necessary amperage. The battery *must* be good because the car started! Alternators are also very rarely bad when new so I wouldn't really worry about a bad alternator. If you're worried about it go get both your battery and alternator tested at any Advance Auto Parts or (shudder) autozone. Anyway, basically the answer is, it's not your battery and it's not your alternator since the car starts and continues to run. I would suspect faulty electrical wiring somewhere or possibly a bad relay module if your car has one. Also, if you could be more specific in your question it'd be easier to answer...

I had the same issue and the problem was the main feed fusible link was bad

the wire looked good but the link is inside the part where you can see I replaced it and bingo the dash panel worked properly

No. None of the Z32 300zx's have them. (1990-1996) There is no option for it either. The only thing you could do is buy an aftermarket wheel that is smaller.


What could be wrong if the battery light stays on after installing a new battery and alternator in a 1994 Nissan Sentra XE?

In the 1988 Nissan the alternator, instrument panel, and backup lights shared a fuse. Before changing a fuse see if the backup lights work (have someone watch when you are in reverse). If the neutral start/backup light switch is broken internally, it can be blowing the fuse when you put the car in reverse.


Why are your lights dim on your 1990 Nissan nx?

Depending on how dim, it could be your battery, alternator, or poor power supply at the headlight socket. Poor power supply meaning corroded wires causing high voltage drop. Have the battery and alternator tested and go from there.
