When bussy check the wires + and - for bad connections /corrosion and hope there is nothing fried elsewhere .
as Loely said, I would take the alternator to a technician and have it checked. I think I can do everything in a car, but the alternator is kinda a black magic box for me, so I take it to the people that knows how to work with them and have it fixed.
