Hey all,

I have a 2014 Dodge Charger RT (AWD with 5.7L). I had very goofy electrical issues where my radio screen would intermittently go dark, climate control would stop working, power windows wouldn't work and some of the interior lights would go off. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a bad alternator putting out too much voltage. So, I replaced the alternator and all of the issues were resolved for 2 weeks, then all of the issues have returned.

What should be my next steps? I measured the voltage with the car running and it was 15.5 V which seems really high. ECM next thing to look at? There's no error codes that show up on my reader and no engine lights.

Thanks,
Ray

The voltage regulator is built into and controlled by the PCM, not the alternator, so that would be the next logical step.

Thanks guys! No open recalls on my vehicle. I did do some more research that the voltage regulator is indeed built into the PCM. I ordered a new one (from All Computer Resources : Auto Computer Experts) and hopefully it resolves the issues. I'll make sure to post the results.

Thanks again!
