Default voltage fluctuation

I have a 2003 SLS and the voltage has always been pretty steady at about 14.5 volts. It didn't matter if I had my lights on, a/c on or anything else. All of a sudden, now it fluctuates any where from 12.3 to 14.7volts. The car always says volts ok, just it never fluctuated like that before. Is this a sign that my alternator is going bad?

Default RE: voltage fluctuation

check your battery connections under the seat. to be sure they are not corroded, if not check the ground on the alternator, if o.k. replace the alternator
