Default 94 voltage fluctuation?

I notice my voltage has been bouncing between 13.2 to 15 on the cars digital readout the past few days, most of the time it would read in the 14 range. I have no electrical mod`s and stereo is stock would running the defroster cause this or is it a sign of the alternator dying? I think its the original one
Thanks

Do you notice any change in the lights; ie. cyclic bright - dim? That's what my '92 was doing as well as the digital volt meter bouncing between 13.4V and 15.1V. I just replaced the alternator yesterday, fixed it right up.

BTW, I have put 40K on it since I bought the car in 2000, it has 123K on the odometer.... it was overdue. My GMC pickup has 108K on it, it's on it's third alternator.

either the alternator itself, or the voltage regulator... you could take your Alt to an autozone to have them test it
