How about telling us the amount of miles, you think you have on the alternator. How long has it been since it was last serviced or changed.

I think the brushes are getting short and may have stuck. The last time you drove it was it raining? The belts can hold moisture against the pulleys.

Interesting thought another poster has that alternators sleep. I would have never guessed it could sleep. I sleep when I get tired, so...OK!
