Put your volt meter on the battery with the engine running. 12V or less means your running on battery. 13V means maybe your alternator is workning, but maybe not. 13.5 -14V means your alternator is working ok. Another trick I learned is if your alternator is working, the center bolt where the pully is connected will be maginitized and you can hold a wrench close to it and it will be a strong magentic field and pull it in. Now you got to realize that its spinning and test this with something smooth like the back side of a wrench instead of something like a screwdriver blade where the blade might snag and kick back. I guess its also possible for this magnetic field to exist and your internal regulator not doing its thing. The volt meter is the for sure way to test.
