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.

First start the car then pull off the positive on the battery if the car dies than you need a new alternator if the car keeps running u may need a new battery. A word of caution, testing an alternator that way can cause damage to the alternator. The alternator needs power to make power unlike the old generators from the past.
Well if you can drive around for 15 to 30 min and you battery is still dead then your alternator is bad or if you put a new battery in and it go's dead avry time you run the truck then your alternator is bad
i just had one replaced last week in a 96 model explorer, the starter was 160 and with labor it was about 250.00. or if you do it yourself you can get a good used starter or maybe a new starter off eBay for 50.00 maybe a little more or less, Jesse
The alternator is not getting power? At any of the wires or just the main/largest one? If you are testing the large wire, this is the output side that runs to the battery. If there is no power in this wire where it connects to the alternator it must have a bad connection at the alternator or at the battery or a break somewhere in between. If there is power there, I would look at the fuses.
your alternator is not charging your battery..u need to get a new alternator
bad alternator ? its not charging the battery
There wasn't a 1991 Dodge Stratus.
un-bolt it, take the belt off, and then disconnect the wired connections, then reverse order to put the new on back in.
It stops charging the battery and the charging system light comes on. Drive to the nearest auto parts store and they will check the system for free.
