~ $1,000 on ebay, but many parts stores will test them for free. The easy way to tell if your alternator is bad is to drive the car. If it stalls while driving, the alternator is definitely at fault.

If the battery light on your 2004 Chrysler Sebring stays on and the car stalls, it could indicate a problem with the charging system, such as a failing alternator or a weak battery. The alternator may not be providing sufficient power to keep the engine running and charge the battery. Additionally, issues like corroded battery terminals or damaged wiring can also contribute to these problems. It's advisable to have the electrical system checked to identify and resolve the underlying issue.
