My wife's 2012 died last night. She said the idiot light was on earlier, but she ignored it (Yes, there's a reason they call the lights that, lol). She jump started it and got it to start and run briefly. The battery is at least 3 years old, so that's due anyway. If that doesn't fix it I will do the alternator next. How bad is the alternator to change? Do I need any special tools? I tried looking on the internet, but I wasn't able to find much info. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
