i've searched several threads and the common symtoms of a bad alternator is lights go dim, ABS and BATTERY lights go on in the dash, and its most common in a SC4. my car has recently been acting up in the cold. it wont start and i need to jumpstart it everytime to get it running. no lights in the dash are going off, and everything seems fine after. My car has had its battery changed recently and my battery terminals have also been changed. I am guessing its not the starter, cause it cranks with the jump, otherwise it wouldn't even crank im assuming. the only part left to change on the SC3 is the alternator, is it a good possibility im correct? any other things to look at?

thanks in advance

jumpstart it, and measure the voltage across the terminals, if its less than 12-14v or so, its the alternator.
