The battery light goes on in the dashboard, I sometimes have use jumper cables to start the car, it drives ok, but the battery light goes on, and off at times.
It drives well for a while and then the lights start to dim until the car dies out.
I put a new battery and the dash battery light remains on.
I turned the ignition on and pulled out the negative of the battery and the car dies out right away.
what part of the alternator could need fixing without changing the whole part.
Carbons ? Regulator ?

Cheaper & easier to replace alternator as an assembly.
Regulator proablly bad get it tested if you want just fix it.
