You might want to do a search on that.

Could be wrong, but I think its the alterantor that needs to be replaced.

That is a definite warning sign that your alternator is on the way out very soon.

You can get one from different part stores for around $230 new. Hard to find a place that has them in stock though....

Another option is to find a place that will rebuild yours. Tends to be cheaper and just as good. Aftermarket replacements have lower amp output than stock. So this may be your best bet.

If you completely drained your battery you might need a new one of those too.
