Battery warning light indicator
I was on my way home tonight, it had just rained and coming out of a right turn my battery light came on.
I checked my voltages only to see 11.7 volts. I'm guessing this means my alternator just gave up or something came loose.
What's the first thing I should check?
I was gonna wait tell tomorrow morning and see if the car starts and if it starts charging again.
If not I was going to pull the alt and take it to the local O'Reillys for testing.
I've never done this before I just want to make sure I'm taking the correct course of action.

Solenoid terminal is only for starter
However if Batt or Alt are faulty; could give the starter problem you have due to lack of juice
