Why is your dodge stratus not charging a new alternator?
Cars don't charge alternators; alternators charge cars. If your new alternator isn't charging, it could be your battery is bad or your battery connections are corroded. Another thing it might be is your voltage regulator. Many alternators come with built-in voltage regulators, but if your system has a standalone v.r., it could be bad too. Finally, if your 'new' alternator is actually a refurbished or rebuilt one, it could be a bad rebuild. It happens.
