Its your alternator. Been there done that.

I got a used one for $30 on eBay, tested it at autozone and put it in myself.

There is much debate on puling the radiator when doing this job. I did and would recommend it. Rad is so light and flimsy I had it out in 10 min. So much easier to pull the alt with it out of the way.

Have to pull the rad. I did the job. It's not hard at all.

Exactly...Same thing happened to my 04. It quit on a toll road and I had to have it towed and the alternator replaced.
