have your battery + alternator load tested. They'll do it for free at the battery dealer, or autozone, etc.

No, the alternator is on all the time, but there's a fusible link.

you cannot visually inspect an alternator. It has to be measured under load.

On the cable from the alternator to your battery.
But if that was bad then your van wouldn't run at all.
