2006 Dodge Stratus Questions & Answers
My father-in-law purchased a 2006 Dodge Stratus 2.7l V6 for me in April 2017. A few months ago we had to replace the alternator everything was fine for awhile. A couple weeks ago while driving my son to school the battery light came on, we don't live to far from the school so I got it home and shut it off. Since I worked at AutoZone close to our house I drove the car to work to test the charging system, Everything passed. When I drive the car the battery light would come on and then go off again until my boyfriend drove it to the store one evening. He got there shut the car off, went inside and when he returned the car would not start at all there was no power. We had the car towed home, and I removed the battery, brought it to work to hook it up to the charger/tester, battery failed so I warrantied it out for a new one. When I installed the battery (it's located in behind the driverside fenderwell), I connected , positive to positive first and then when I went to connect the negative/ground, there was a spark and white smoke coming from my alternator. I immediately unhooked the battery and now am wondering what it is I should do. The alternator is under warranty so I know if I have to replace it, I can just warranty it out. I am wondering if when we installed the alternator months ago if my battery wasn't fully charged therefore damaging the alternator to begin with. I am at a loss as to what to do now.
find a real shop to fix real hard electrical problems
seems the AZ alternator is junk, as is common there

do not hook up battery backwards or blow to H3LL $3000 worth of electronics!
and never replace any alternator ever with battery neg lug attached or blow things up you will, I promise
for sure the 100amp alternator fuse blows.. if lucky only it.
you have been ZONED !
ps: that dead new battery will charge up fine
\that is why new batteries are so expensive sending good batteries back under warranty.
there is no free lunch we all pay this.

2006 dodge stratus won't crank and cruise control won't light
Must not have been much of a mechanic. If the engine runs and sounds fine sometimes and other times it doesn't then it does not sound like a mechanical problem with the engine. Sounds more like a issue with either the ignition system or fuel system.
I have a 06 dodge stratus the window was workin
No relay involved , could be the driver door master switch . But i see more broken wire's inside the flex boot from the body to the driver door . All the power window switches get power from driver master switch . Look for a broken tan (B+ ) supply or black ground wire . Without testing ,this would be just a guess . Take hold of the boot an wiggle .
