Sounds like 1 of the diodes has given it up in the alt. DC power is made from AC power in the alt. with a retifier circut of 3 diodes. When one of the 3 goes bad you will have pulsating DC power _-_-_-_- instead of steady DC power ________. You can have an Alternator repair shop relace the bad diode or test the circut. Or replace the alt.
