Both of mine displayed exactly the same symptoms and replacing the alternator was the fix in both instances. I'm no mechanic, but changing an alternator on these things isn't much more complicated than changing the oil.

Not to contradict good and popular advice: If you decide against Maniac, the alternators I bought were remans from Advance Auto, which they had for me within 24 hours, and I've had no trouble from either.
