UH OH !!!! alternator ???
OK so this morning I am on my way to work.
I go to start the car and the battery is almost dead, by some miracle it has enough in it to start the car. My drive to work is about 10 miles and the car drove fine. When I got there I turned the car off, waited 5 minutes and started it again and it was fine.
Does this sound like my battery is dying or my alternator.
Please don't say my alternator because the part is like $300 if you do say this any opinions on if I can change it myself or get one cheaper elsewhere.
Could this have anything to do with my radio not working right ???

Not sure on the battery,
I went to Auto zoneand they tested both, the battery was a little low but seemed OK and the alternator was fine.
Don't know what the deal was it has started fine 3 times since this morning.
Thanks anyway guys
