Exactly how do you know the alternator isn't working? Dashboard
meters & their wiring often fail. If you really want to know, use a
clamp-on DC current meter on the alternator-battery lead.

Does you vehicle have a voltage regulator? If so, replace it. If
not, replace the cables from alternator to battery and battery to
ground.
