You can also tell if your alternator works by putting on every light and fan & a/c on high, with engine running, and disconnecting the negative cable from the battery. If it stalls, the alternator's done. I know this works, just changed my alternator yesterday.
P.S. I don't know if this is true in the states, but my local AC-Delco store offers a lifetime warranty on their alternators. So the $ 230 mine cost me may not be a waste if it craps out again !!!!
