what year are you working on? is that voltage reading w/ car running or off? have you checked fuse#24 (15amp) in driver's kick panel?

sorry...gave you the wrong fuse number. it's fuse 15 (7.5amp) under the dash. also check fuse 31 (120amp) under the hood. if you still believe it's the alternator...have them bench test it or return and try a different auto parts store. if bench test proved it is a good alt or a different alt from a different parts store is still giving you the same problem...check the wires connected to the alternator for any shorts.
