Get a digital multimeter or a test light which has a voltmeter on it (if you can find one... mine was made by Snap-On, and probably cost more than you want to spend on a tool). Set it to measure volts, and, with the vehicle running, put the black lead to a good ground, and put the red lead to the stud which protrudes from the back of the alternator - the wire to the battery positive will be attached to this stud. You should be reading in the vicinity of 14 volts - no more, no less.

if your altinator also known as a genorator is going out you can test its power by taking off the negative (black) battary termanal wile the car is running and see if it still runs if it remains running then it okay! you can also let the car sit after starting it for about 5 minutes with head lights on after that press the gas and if your lights get any brighter than they were then your altinator or genarator is starting to ware down and its time to start looking around
