An alternator is part of the electrical system, not the power train. You can
always check but I've never heard of one being covered for the same time as the
engine.

If that is the problem, I wonder if it would be covered under the power
train warranty?

By the way the garage that diagnosed the problem wanted $400 for them to
furnish and install the alternator themselves. I paid them $25 to diagnose
the problem and saved a total of $175 by purchasing it from Auto Zone and
installing it myself.

This exact thing happened to my wife just one month ago. We took it to the
garage and was told that the alternator was putting out inconsistent
voltage. The voltage would not run steady, which should be regulated by an
internal voltage regulator. We bought a new alternator for our 2001 Ford
Windstar van for about 200 dollars and I put it in myself in less than an
hour. Pproblem was fixed. .

Earlier this evening my wife was driving home. For a few seconds the gauges
on the car went nuts. The speed odometer went up to 80 and then back to 50,
the gas gauge dropped and the light went on. The temp went way up and then
back to normal. It is on a 2003 grand caravan. When all of the gauges went
nuts itonly lasted a few seconds. Wondering if this is because something in
ghe computer or electrical is starting to fail or if some rf got into the
system.
