Just start the car and then pull the battery cable. If it dies it's the
alternator.

Hi All,  I have an '87 Nissan Pu.  The battery will accept a charge from
charger.  It will start and run for a short while, a minute or so, then all
the electricals (lights, radio, blower fan etc.) will dim and the engine will
die.  It has electronic ignition and fuel injection.  I'm guessing the
alternator but would like any input before I go through the hassle of pulling
it.  It is buried under the A/C unit and looks to be quite a job to get it
off.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Pat Mahoney
