As I was driving to work this AM, my battery light came on. Well, I do know enough about cars to know that the battery is primarily used to start the car and then the alternator takes over once started. So I figured my alternator is not working. Now I was only a couple of miles from work, so I prayed all the way there and made it. After work, I went out to my car and checked the battery (sort of new-less than 2 years old). Everything looked clean and good. So I chanced it and started it-it started right up and I began driving it home. The battery light came on about a mile later. I called my son and met up with him a few more miles up the road. He checked my battery and there was a charge of 12.53 with motor off and 12.1 with motor on. So that told my son, it was most likely my alternator and my battery juice would probably get me home-but no further. I was able to get my car home (more prayer) and now I have an alternator and serpentine belt in the trunk that I need to figure out how to put on tomorrow since I won't be able to drive the car again until it's replaced.
So anyone have a good link for me to view of how to replace my alternator, 04 Coupe?
