take the alt. off and take it to NAPA or Autozone.
They can test it for you.

VMH, it is a known problem with GM alternators from 88 to 95 dying out of the blue,(Still was a problem on later models but not as bad as those years) so most probably is the alternator again. If you are selling the car just install a new alternator and add the cost to the car price.
