With tools and being not mechanically savvy, I changed it at the parking lot in 20 mins and returned the old one to get back a recycling deposit fee.
Oh, thanks. I'll check Wal-Mart out.

Only other thing I can think off is that the alternator isn't working right. Hope you find a cure.
Yeah, I've managed to leave the light on xD
I've also been charging my stupid android phone on it a lot since it doesn't seem to hold a charge
