A/C LINE INSTALLED DIRECTLY ABOVE ALTERNATOR. ON EXTENDED DRIVING TRIPS WITH A/C OPERATING AT MAXIMUM, CONDENSATION/MOISTURE ATTACHED TO LINE DRIPS FROM LINE ONTO ALTERNATOR CAUSING BATTERY LIGHT ON DASHBOARD TO FLICKER MOMENTARY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS PERIODICALLY AND THE DEALER/NISSAN IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE MALFUNCTION BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN TECHNICIAN RUNS A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I INSTALLED INSULATION BOUGHT AT LOWE'S AND THE PROBLEM CEASED TO OCCUR. I THEN REMOVED THE INSULATION AND THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AGAIN (REPEATEDLY). I REINSTALLED INSULATION AND MALFUNCTION CEASED. TAKING THAT ACTION AND THE RESULT IS EVIDENCE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN FLAW. I REQUESTED THAT NISSAN INSTALL PREFABRICATED INSULATION AS SEEN ON THE 2006 HONDA CRV WHICH HAS THE SAME A/C LINE CONFIGURATION, INSTALLED ABOVE THE ALTERNATOR. THAT IS TO PREVENT ALTERNATOR BEING RENDERED INOPERATIVE FROM CONSTANT MOISTURE INFUSION.
