I may be jumping the gun, but we ran into a nightmare at the shop regarding a cougar of this approximate era, I need to do a little research to recall what happened and if it applies to yours. It ended up to be a manufacturer's defect; the car was held up at the dealer for 2 monthes until the "fix" was shipped. I wish I had more info, but don't at this time. Hi this is the reason, I had 4 alternators replaced before i found it. There is a 175amp fuse attached to a wire that leads to the starter from the alternator. It is located behind the engine on the passenger side, just slide your hand back there find the wire pull on it hard and it comes up where you can reach it. I replaced it with a 175amp fuse block from a car stereo shop for $10 and I haven't had a problem since.

Not 100% sure, but I've never heard of any such device on any vehicle. Are you asking the right question? There isn't one! If a Dodge has a battery temp sensor it is located in the battery box under the battery.
The alternator is either over or under charging.
