Aside from having it tested, are there things I can look out for to clue me in if it is the alternator?

Thanks again.

When I turn the key it just makes a rapid clicking sound. It does not sound like the engine is cranking at all, it is sort of an electrical sounding click. The dashboard lights and interior lights all come on and they blink during the clicking sound so I don't think its the battery (which is only a year old). The battery cables appear to be okay and the fuses for the starter and starter relay are good. When I turn the key three times to release the P codes it just says "P done" and it does not give any error codes. However, the check engine light blinks 10 times then stays on. I have googled various things trying to come up with a solution and haven't been able to find a good answer. I am really hoping that someone can help me figure out what it is rather than have to start guessing at what it could be and replace things that may or may not be broken.
