How do you know when alternator is not working?

The easiest way to check is apply a volt meter to the battery terminals. With the engine off the voltage should read around 12 volts. With the engine running there should be an increase in the voltage to around 14 volts. If the voltage reading stays at or decreases from the engine off level then the alternator is probably not working. I would then remove the alternator and take it to an auto parts store and have it bench tested to check it for proper operation.
