Does anyone know how to change EGR valves?

Bad alternator and/or battery. $70 battery. More than likely it's the battery if you never had it happen before you left your lights on. Batteries aren't supposed to be run dead and re-charged, it's very hard on them (unless you have a marine or deep-cycle, they're meant for that -regular car batteries aren't). Although a 4 year old battery shouldn't be going bad yet. But, the battery would definitely be the cheaper of the 2 choices, and more logical.
