How do you replace the altenator on a 98 alantra

Lubricant fluids come in different viscosities and contain different additives for longevity. The type of oil needed also depends on the type of transmission (automatic or manual) and the wear patterns on the parts themselves. Some are very similar, some are very different. Adding the wrong one can be a headache, but if you are under the gun or tight on cash you can drain the 'wrong oil' and replace it with the specified oil in your owner's manual.

First,new parts don't mean they work.
Try a different code reader to pull the codes.

How To Install Replace Alternator Dodge Durango Dakota 98 03 1AAuto com


===============================================

It could be many things, like a faulty ignition switch, a burned circuit on your dash panel board, any kind of a slow drain (poor ground) in the wiring, but I'd go with the ignition switch if it was me.

what you need to do is check the altenator for voltage it should be between 13 and 15 volts this is easily done with a standard volt meter check it at the altenator witch is located right on top of the engine on the back of the altenator there is a thick red wire that is where you want to put the positive and just put the black wire of the volt meter on the case of the altenator and check the reading it sounds like the altenator is bad there is also a fuse you should check your owners manual for location of the fuse also have your battary checked this should help ant questions just ask me

if you don't know i highly recommend you have a shop put them in.

You need to replace the flasher module, this is the module that controls the "Blinking" function of the lights, its a mostly a common part that you can get at any auto parts store for less than 10 bucks and is located in the Fuse panel under the dash, its round in shape in one corner of the panel. mostly they are green in color.

could you start it before replacing those items? If not try fuel pump and a tuneup from coils to plugs. If it would try looking at the starter or the wires. If not connected correctly the starter cant funtion.

Voltage regulator is built-in to the alternator assembly.

Have you tried replacing the battery?
A battery with a shorted cell will not charge properly and may even damage an alternator or regulator.

Note1: use a digital voltmeter (about $25 at Lowe's or Radio Shack) and check voltage across batt terminals while engine running. If more than 12.6 Volts DC and more typically about 13 Volts, then the alternator is working.

Note2: from Jan 98 to May 98 shows a different part # alternator than June - Dec 98
check the manufacture date on your driver door edge.
