s13 sohc ka alternator?

[Grocery Cart]

For a while my battery light flickered on and off. Sometimes it would be bright as hell and other times it would barely be visible. I figured it was my alternator going out, but I didn't think about it that much. My battery had also died a while back because someone left the door open and the dome light stayed on.

Last night I went drive around for few minutes and I could hear a slight humming noise. Sounded like it came from the bay/dash, but I couldn't point it out because it was pretty late and I had no light. This morning I tried to start, and the engine wouldn't crank. There wasn't a loud tick like my battery was dead, there was a really quiet noise toward the passenger front of the bay.

I'm guessing this is the alternator, but I want get you guys' opinion first.

I'm also posting this from school, and I'm telling my friend what to do through text at home.
First world problems. :picardfp:

The flickering of your lights was the voltage regulator on the alternator. It's most likely your alt is the problem. Take somewhere to confirm it.

Thought it might have been a corroded battery.
Took both to get tested, alternator was fried.
