1 - Check the voltage regulator, making sure brushes are not worn down.

2 - Check the ground wire leading the alternator to the engine block. Make sure there is a clean connection, and the wiring is not frayed or corroded. Replace if necessary.

3 - Check all electrical connections in the charging system, between battery and alternator. Make sure all connections are clean. If the positive and negative battery cables are showing signs of internal corrosion, consider replacing them soon.
