Default Problems with my wifes 94 Nissan Sentra E......brake/battery lights stay on

The brake light and battery light starting coming on then staying on. Then it wouldnt start only click. So I took the battery and had it tested they said it was dead. I bought a new battery and it cranks fine now but the brake and battery light are still on. Any ideas ? Alternator maybe ?

Check your alternator fuse and all wiring first but the next most likely culprit will be your alternator. You can either take the alternator off and go to autozone and they will bench test it or you can also take the whole car down and they will test it that way.
