Per :
And you had NO indication the alternator had failed???

No doubt, the vehicle tried to tell me some way or another - if nothing
else, the battery charge rate would have dropped to zero.

But if I am driving, I'm not studying the dashboard. An audible alarm
would get my attention. A blinking light probably would too. But low
numbers on gauges definitely get lost for me.

Yeah, "instrument scan" and all that.... but in practice, I'm looking at
the road and my mirrors.
