get a hose to the alternator hose the back where the hole are just hose it to see if any mud comes out .

OR you might have to pull it out its a pr#ck of a job you will have to pull the air con pump off to get to the alternator all the belts then its easy to get it out

run the hose thru it while running while tapping it with a hammer
if this does not fix it then its voltage reg time or brushes
