Sounds to me like your alt is on the way out...same thing happened to my Ex's X. Do the lights dim when you roll the windows up and down?
 






it's the ALTnateR
 






The alt is rebuildable,
 






was kinda suspecting alternator or battery but wanted some validation i was headed in the right direction
 






My alternator went out on me two weeks ago and was doing the same thing as you described. A rebuilt one from Advance was $150. Brand new was $180 with the same warranty as the rebuilt one:crazy:
