Power steering hard
Hey Kumar,
Does the steering get easier when it gets hot? If it get easier when hot, its the rack and pinion gear. The valve body (actually a teflon composition ring(s) o-rings/valve bore housing are getting worn to the point where they are not controlling the fluid flow when its cold,, when the rack and pinion gets hot, the valve bore expands and "corrects" the clearance which in turn, controls the fluid flow. The valve body bore in the rack and pinion housing is worn where the teflon rings ride against the bore.
This is nothing that can be fixed except by replacing the entire rack and pinion gear. Drain ALL the power steering fluid from the pump also and fill with fresh new fluid.

05 Altima, brake light and battery light on
You may need an alternator.Once battery voltage goes low enough the brake warning light can come on warning you the battery voltage is too low for the brake system to work properly. The bat light is warning you there is a problem with the charging circuit,most likely the alternator.

Altima 2005 squeaking in the rear
Chattering is caused by components tooclose to each other. This happens when bushings wear out. Get under there (not whenthe car has been running) and shake the exhaust system and any suspension component to see if you can make it chatter. Then look for why the part is able to move so much.

Car jerking at low speeds and idle
Not fuel filter. Is your engine light on? Could be accelerator pedal position sensor. Does it do it only when you are accelerating?

My Altima SE R will not run. I replaced the fuel
First guess is anti theft.
Leave key on for half an hour and/or lock unlock doors with remote.
Does the tack on the dash show rpm when cranking the engine?If it does you should have a injector pulse using a noid light.
If you have rpm showing and no injector pulse try borrowing a computer from a vehicle like yours.
No RPM showing when cranking?
Check/change crank and cam sensors and possibly computer.
Cam timing can cause no start but you should have an injector pulse even with a jumped tooth or two on the timing chain.

My passenger rear door on my 2005 nissan altima will not open from inside or outside
It's not the handles I've struggled with these issues on 3 altimas it's the door latch itself it's from moisture it's worse in the winter if I run the car for a couple hours with heat on the door opens also if you repeatedly lock and unlock the door with the power lock it will release eventually. I've been locked in my 04 Altima multiple times and had to lock the door sometimes to get it to hold shut these cars are nutorious for door issues
