Yes, it looks like my alternator is trashed. My car has 90,000 miles on it.
Is this normal wear??

it in alt charging to high, and of course that am it was pissing catsn dogs
out.
bingo , no wipers.

whisping alt belt sound..

Quite possible for the brushes to be worn out at that distance. Before
you do the typical thing of spending huge money on a replacement
alternator why don't you consider replacing the only part that will
likely be worn, the brushes.
It only takes a few minutes of your time and a soldering iron to fit
new ones that shouldn't cost any more than $5. while you've got it
apart you can give the bearings a spin to check if they're OK, which
they likely will be.
In the unlikely event that it's more complex than just the brushes
worn down you can still slap it back together and waste money on an
exchange unit. At least it'll be one of the rare ones that the
remanufacturing boys will have to do some real work to fix.

Re: Indicator light problem, in 96 Accent.
Because the alternator lamp is actually on, replacing the brushes will
probably repair this alternator. This isn't the most common failed part
on Hyundai alternators, however. More often, the voltage regulator itself
fails. So, the question is this: is it worth it to replace the brushes
knowing that the voltage regulator may fail shortly? Only the vehicle
owner can answer. He knows his situation; we don't. Regardless, it's an
excellent point.
