My 2007 Chrysler Town & Country's battery light came on then started making a loud whirring sound from the engine. All I need to do is start up the vehicle for the noise to begin, and the light comes on about a minute later. Would that be an alternator problem or something else?

It is your power steering pump. The solution is to replace the P/S fluid resevoir and fill or flush the system.
SOURCE: Van won't start. Just makes a clikcing noise. Horn sounds weak.
THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE STARTER MOTOR SOLENOID, REMOVE AND REPLACE THE STARTER OR JUST REPLACE THE SOLENOID ON TOP OF THE STARTER IF YOU CAN BUY IT SEPERATE.
Hello
The reason the battery light is on is that the charging system voltage is below the battery voltage, this means the charging system is not working correctly, since you already replaced the Alternator for I assume the same problem, unless you got a defective rebuilt (which is poss if bought from Autozone or one of the other discount parts stores) the charging system problem is not the Alternator but lies elsewhere in the electrical system. Use a volt meter and check the voltage at the battery cables with the engine running at high idle (at least 1000 RPM) the voltage should be at least 13.4 to about 14.2 Volts DC. This is also most likely the cause of the light that is on that you say looks like a pump due to the low charging system voltage. As to the radio it is in theft lock, this happens anytime the battery is disconnected, you will need to enter the unique security code for your radio, if you are not the original owner this may be a problem, as the little card with the code and the instructions to enter it often gets misplaced. You will likely end up at the dealer who can access the Chrysler factory computer and retrieve the code, there may be a charge for this.
Have it checked for a short in the electrical system.
it could be the system utility of the car computer its protecting,the car ,if you have a friend or somebody lets you borrow a compu and check to verify its not the computer,start to send you codes,you just said after fix one another comes out,sometimes are the wires too
