Q: 2006 chrysler t&c alternator keeps going bad 2 in less than a month

asked by on June 16, 2017

Put in two alternators in less than a month. Battery is new. Only problem with car is a bad blower fan on AC. Alternator lasts about a week and battery light comes on and battery starts losing charge. Any ideas on this?
