Possible parasite draw putting too much voltage on alternator

It is likely your charge wire or field circuit is shorted. If you mean you want to install an external regulator, I cannot recommend that, as it will likely cause a fault to disconnect the alternator from the computer. Trace all of the alternator wires, big and small; and I believe you will find a short. If you have an ohmmeter, use it to make sure the field power wire is isolated from chassis ground.

check the alternator and the alternator wire i have a 2000 dodge stratus se 2.4 and i had the same problem and it was the alternator wire came unhooked

It may be the alternator... not a very expensive part to replace your self, about $150.

put a digital volt meter to the batery a check for 14volts or more with engine running if so its charging have you tested the battery 

Check that the earth wire from the engine to the chassis is ok
