while the car is running unhook the negative battery cable. If the car remains running then your alternater is good if it stalls then replace it.

How do you know when alternator is bad?

Typically you know your alternator is out when you have to jump start your car numerous times. A way you can test it is by turning on your car and while it's running discount the + terminal. If the car turns off then your alternator is bad. If the car remains in then alternator is good and possible bad battery. Hope this helps
