1997 chrysler town and country LXI 2 wheel drive.

I replaced the Alternator 1 year ago, And it was fine after that change,

Id check the battery connections and cable ground to engine,,,a strong 12 volt from battery would hold everything up. most of the feed is coming from alternator giving it a workout for sure
