Not SES light but, Oil pressure light - 12/13/2007 6:49:34 PM

I drive a 2002 manual transmission Altima. Recently the oil pressure light has been coming on randomly (but sometimes goes away) and when it does the car looses horse power and doesnt want to run. Also, every time I push the clutch in the dash board lights dim, the head lights flicker on and off, and further more the windshield wipers aren't working. What could cause this? Is it something simple or what? Please help.

Could be the altenator / battery going.

i would say check your engine oil, and then check the oil pump , you may also have alternator problem but that would only cause electrical failure, but if the oil pressure is really low and as you told loss of hp , it may cause engine failure which can cost a lot than diagnosis.
