Appreciate any input to the following - (1) How difficult is it to replace the alternator for a 'do it yourselfer"? Bearings sound like their spent! Any tips/techniques to make the process smoother. (2) Check Engine flashing on an off - dealer says its reading a knock but they think it might be picking up some of the trouble from the alternator. Does this jive? (3) TCS OFF indicator flashed on the other day. Could this be related to the errors being picked up from #2. In other words is this a potential reaction by the computer if it is picking up a knock? If not, what conditions bring this problem on. (4) Last night, after hitting a small pot hole, the Information light and SRS light illuminated. The air bags did not deploy but the indicator remains on. Could this be a sensor in the front end that mistaken the jolt as an accident? I would think the airbags would have been deployed. Ideas? (5) Coincidentally with #4, my radio went from sounding fine to loosing the back speakers and all bass. All this has happened in a span of two weeks. Appreciate your input on any/all of the above.
