Electrical problem
1997 Nissan Frontier 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I think the alternator needs to be replaced. The battery was replaced maybe a year or so ago. It will charge, but won't hold a charge for long and the duration keeps getting shorter. I need some help with how to replace the alternator? Thanks

Hi Before replacing ALT check voltage at battery running @1500 rpms. And have you checked for battery drain key off?
Let me know
