Our 2001 Durango just started eating alternators. The battery indicator shows the battery is dying so we bought a new alternator. Once installed it stopped working too. We then got another alternator. We had it checked before installing it and it was fine but once installed, it too stopped working. Any clues?
You don't have a walmart battery do you. And are you buying the cheap replacement alt? I have seen walmart battery's do strange things. Also have had problems with like Autozone type stuff when it comes to the lower priced alt.

A lot of Chrysler products have the voltage regulator in the computer. I would check the charging system wiring first for poor connections and if nothing else is found there is nothing else for you to do but change it.

replace the battery, on a dodge when battery is weak the idle air control solenoid tries to search for the right position. and will keep stalling sometimes wont stay running.

Hi, I will keep this short, but just a tip on the tester they use, I had one bench tested and it showed up it was good and the built in regulator was good also. Put it in the auto along with a $75 battery, and the discharge light was still on!!. So, I checked all of the charging circuit wiring finding nothing wrong, and put a rebuilt alternator on. Took care of my problem, the alternator was intermittent, sometimes charging when they checked it at Auto-Zone, but stopped putting out when I put it back on the car. I lived 16 miles from the auto store, so it was a pain going back and forth, plus the cost of gas!! I would change it out if you can at this time. I am sure this is what is going on if all looks good under the hood as far as wiring. Check to see if you have the 75 amp alternator fuse under hood also. It may be gone. Make sure the hot cable to the alternator and wiring plug is OK. Change it out and you will be good!
Sincerely,

If you are able to drive it to the parts store, they can test the alternator on the vehicle to see if it is charging. If not, check your belts to make sure they are tight and rotating the alternator properly. Last resort, new alternator.
