You may have bad voltage regulator. Regulator is separate from alternator and should be mounted on radiator core support. I suggest go to shop that specializes auto electric and have it checked out. If you have modern high watt stereo system; stock charging system is inadaquate and needs to upgraded to be modern high output type.
