Yes yes yes. Replace it.
Sounds like an electrical problem, check your battery, alternator, and fuse box, and light wiring.
You do not need to modify the alternator if it is working properly. The voltage regulator controls the output of the alternator and it does function at low RPMs, if all systems are working properly. So if it is not charging at low RPMs you have a problem. Most auto parts stores will check your charging system free of charge.You do not need to modify the alternator if it is working properly.

finding out from various sources what is causing a problem - extending to as many factors as you can in order to search for the roots of a difficulty
An alternator cannot "short" out for years or even minutes. The definition of a short is a wire or circuit touching ground to cause a fuse to blow. The circuit is too "short" for the current to flow through the proper load and back to the battery. The voltage regulator in a alternator can act up from time to time and cause improper charging from the alternator. Or a component of the alternator can go bad and cause a charging system problem intermittently. Your question needs to be explained better to give a better answer.
The more positive sounding counterpart for "problem" is "challenge." While a problem often implies difficulty or obstacles, a challenge suggests an opportunity for growth and learning. It reframes the situation in a way that emphasizes potential and resilience.
If it stays on there is a problem with the charging system. Most likely a defective alternator.
It means you are having a problem with the charging system. Have the alternator and battery checked. Good Luck!!!
There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
There is no fuse for an alternator.

That is correct spelling for the word "problem" (difficulty, challenge, or test example).The correct spelling is problem (difficulty, or math question).
yes the alternator can generate noise or whine in the speakers.
make sure the battery charged up, put a volt meter on the battery with the van running and see what the output voltage is, 13.5-14.5. if the voltage reading is low the problem is the alternator or regulator(which is inside the alternator) you will need to replace the alternator I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. BEFORE YOU SPEND ANY MONEY, IS YOUR ALTERNATOR LIGHT COMING ON [ A LIL BATT TO YOUR TOP LEFT ] IF YOU DON'T SEE IT YOU PROBLEM IS THERE. GM VEHICLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY [NO STARTING] THE ALTERNATOR LITE [THE LIL BATT TO YOUR LEFT] IS NOT ON THE ALTERNATOR WILL NOT CHARGE SO CHECK THAT LITE SOMETIME THE BULB IS BURN BUT MOST OF THE TIME BETWEEN THE BULB AND THE CONNECTION TO CHECK THE BULB OR CONNECTION, REMOVE TWO SCREW BETWEEN EACH END OF THE CLUSTER DASHBOARD THEN LIFT THE DASHCOVER P.S IF YOUR ALTERNATOR LITE COME ON WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY THEN YOUR ALTERNATOR IS BAD OR YOUR BATT CAN'T HOLD A CHARGE
how do you prevent or cure a shorting problem with the dashboard clocks
Remove the serpentine belt and check the belt and pulleys for damage. While the belt is off, turn the alternator by hand listening for the noise.
That is the correct spelling of the word "difficulty" (problem, impediment).
if it stalls when you remove positive battery terminal then your alternator is bad Yes, it could be the alternator, but I have an 89 Celebrity and when I first got it we had the same problem and would die out every few minutes and need a boost. We changed the alternator, did not help. We bought a Duralast Gold battery from Auto Zone which helped a little but did not fix the problem. We then took the car to an alternator repair shop called Gabby's in Knoxville TN and they replaced a large fuse under the dashboard and I never had the problem again. Cost me $5.00.
