mytc05 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hey all, Pretty sure my alternator has gone bad. We replaced the battery a while back because of it frequently going dead, and while that indeed might have been part of the issue, it's still going dead with the new battery. So, I'm pretty sure it's the alternator. The battery level indicator is not reading in the middle like it used to, and sometimes, even while driving it for a while, it doesn't get back up to the fully charged spot. Then, when I shut the car off and come back later, it's dead again. Planning on taking it up to the parts store to get it tested. Would prefer to get a Chrysler OEM replacement, but not sure how expensive that's going to be yet. Have any of you all replaced the alternator on our TC's before, and if so, do you remember the cost and where you got it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If it looks like this one, you didn't mention a year model, all you need to do is replace the brushes.

mytc05 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hey Hemi. Realized I never responded to your comment on this. Thanks for the info. We ended up just replacing the alternator with a new one, and it took care of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Does your alternator look like the one pictured, if so it likely would be repaired by just replacing the brushes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
