My town and country has had a new battery and alternator installed in June of this year. If I let it sit for more than a day or two and not drive it, it doesn't want to run

SOURCE: good alternator & battery, but battery goes dead just sitting

The regulator could be sticking in the alternator. Unplug the alternator and see if the battery goes dead. I replaced an alternator once and the new regulator was bad.

SOURCE: New battery & new alternator, still not charging...

Take it to another auto parts store to test to verify.
If you put a voltmeter on the battery when the T+C was running, it should read 14-15V.
It could have a bad diode. If this is the case the alt. will be pumping out AC instead of DC. This is BAD. Batteries do not like this and the battery will fail because of it.
Be careful in those 'auto parts stores'. I have found that they employ alot of 'kids' who know little about how a car works. Try NAPA. They are much more knowledgeable and professional. But they cost alittle more.

Town country alternator

Check connections to Alternator and Battery. If probably connected, have someone check the Alternator output. If still good, check fuse.

1996 Town and country new battery.. Drove car 10 miles went to get in the next day car did not start once jumped the car will start. what could it be?

Make sure the battery connections are clean and tight. Can be a Defective alternator or something is pulling power from the battery. If you have a multimeter test the DC voltage at the battery with the engine running. You should see at least 13.5 volts. Any less and the alternator is weak or bad. If it checks good and you cannot find anything that is on, such as glove box, under hood, trunk, courtesy, or dome lights, then drive to a trusted auto parts store and have them check the electrical charging system.

Battery warning light is on with weird noise

This either means your battery has failed or the alternator. You can use a voltmeter to monitor battery voltage it should maintain at least around 13 with lights on if it gets low and car eventually stalls replace alternator. Thanks
