Xterra 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,995 miles
Fuse #11 which protects the alternator/charging circut and 4WD/atp warning light circuts kept blowing. When this fuse blows the alternator stops working and the vehicle then runs off the battery. And when the battery dies 30 minutes later so does your Xterra!
