is there a fuse and relay center under the hood ? there could be an alt fuse in there that is burned usually they take the large maxi fuses hope this helps

SOURCE: 2001 Chrysler Town & Country,

may be better off just replacing the whole alternator unless just the pulley is bad. If just pulley is bad should be a simple fix & fairly cheap as well. Are you having a charging issue? If so stop by your local "Advance Auto" where they'll test your whole charging system for free & probably refer you to a good mechanic as well! Good Luck!

SOURCE: 2003 Chrysler Town & Country, put in new alternator, now have 2 lights on including battery and one looking like a pump. Radio won't work.

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.
