This may be a dumb question, but did you remember to plug your new alternator in? I installed a new alternator on my truck but never plugged it in, so it wasn't charging the battery and kept dying.

To test the alternator on a 2000 Dodge Caravan, first, start the engine and use a multimeter to measure the voltage at the battery terminals. A healthy alternator should produce between 13.8 to 14.5 volts while the engine is running. If the voltage is significantly lower, the alternator may be faulty. Additionally, you can check for unusual noises or a warning light on the dashboard, which may indicate an issue with the alternator.


Your dodge caravan 2005 doesnt start and you hear three clicking sounds when you turn the ignition what is it?

We just had the same problem on a 2005 caravan. Auto parts store tested it and siad the alternator was bad. Took it to main dealer and they said the battery was bad. They changed the battery and all is well. (Main dealer battery $160 so beware!!!!!) Try a new battery from somewhere cheaper. You can also remove the alternator and take it to an auto parts store where they can bench test it and tell you if it is bad. They can do the same with the battery.


Why does your battery light comes on and the lights in the dash blinks on your 2000 dodge grand caravan?

My 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan began doing this and it is because the battery has a low charge, could be due to old battery, or even bad alternator. The quickest and easiest fix is to charge the battery and then wait and see if it happens again after. If it happens then you should have it looked at by a professional

Perhaps alternator is not charging battery properly - check with a volt meter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running reading should be approx. 14.2 with engine running with good alternator
