Try replacing the brushes. Cost is around $14. Remove four torx screws on the back to access the assembly. The repair can be accomplished without removing the alternator from the car if you get some stubby 1/4" hex drive torx bits. Napa has a set. Be sure to remove the paperclip wire that retracts the brushes for installation. Disconnect the battery negative before starting work.
