B. Check your fuses

E. With the engine running, check the alternator pulley for magnetism with a an object that sticks to magnets(be careful parts might get thrown by the centrifugal force of the rotating pulley)

Just to add up which happened to me recently, although hindi totally down yung alternator but a low voltage output. I have read from some car forums abroad that there could be a problem on the wire / cable coming from alternator to battery, which was confirmed by my trusted mechanic. The way to test it is to hold the mentioned wire / cable, masyadong mainit kung may problema yung wire. Then my mechanic measured the alternator output, which is still within the desired range while when measured in the cable / wire near the battery, the voltage is low. Thanks.
