I had that happen last week. The first thing to check is the fan belt, make sure it is on and tight. If that is not it, take the 2 small screws from the voltage regulator and pull it out and swap in another one. If that doesnt fix it, you are looking at replacing the alternator. I would pull the alternator and take it to your FLAPS and have them check it. Good luck to you. Mine was only the VR. 5 minute fix.
