    Love this video. Straight to the point
    9pm and I was heading to work. Fired van up. Battery light on
    Hitting the end of alternator got me on the way!

    I spent morning looking around junkyards and failing to find an alternator. I stumbled across this video and tried bonking it, and it actually worked. I am flabbergasted and thankful for coming across this.

    I have a question for you I have a 2008 Town and country Chrysler touring van I've got a brand new battery on it but I have to jump it because it will not start I've had the alternator tested the starter tested I've had all the electrical in the fuses tested... But I cannot figure out what is causing this problem do you have any suggestions

    Just wanted to say thank you for your video you just got my family home safe on a late rainy night . 2012 Dodge caravan exact same symptoms only had this. An about 8 months I've seen the battery light come on before but it wwnt away after restarting. Van has bumping hesitating almost stalling at times .tonight it was in a limp mode wouldn't shift gears and barely made it off the road I sat there for around 3.5 hours van would not restart was dead I let it sit for a while and it restarted but was not charging I happen to have a fluke meter with me so I knew that would not make it far. That's when I cam across your video so I did same procedure using a hammer but battery was to dead to restart knowbody in sight for a jump so I sat for about 3 more hours until I got an idea to use a 20v Dewalt drill battery to maybe get it started using my fluke meter I found positive and negative on the Dewalt battery used a flat peice of steel to make contact jumper cable it to van battery and what do you know it started right up quick check on battery and what do you know charging 13.8 volts and I was down the road to safety.. van seem to be funning better than before with strong lights fan blower no bumping at the stop light Thank You are The Man . And anyone else having symptoms or alt charging problems with Dodge Caravan I highly suggest banging on the alt as video shows save alot of time money and who knows may e even your life .

      I had my brakes and rotors done and since I got it back it was not running right at all. Driver side wheel locked up and I was driving back to shop. Was told the caliber on driver side and quick fix Smell smoke and heat , next bat light come on and altinator and bat not holding charge system said bad bat bat alt and trans problem then other codes . I was told this is common with this van and it is that damn wiring system that Chrysler jeep uses and is extremely dangerous.Jeep has a recall on it. Irns. Or something it was called.The system goes crazy and don't know what is wrong The entire van shuts down . Steering,trans,brakes motor. I was lucky that I was in the parking lot of the shop.

    Ok,so can tell you're not a mechanic. That clutch you're slamming on is the air conditioning clutch for the AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, the alternator does NOT HAVE A CLUTCH. keep slamming it though it will do nothing for you in the end except cost more money.

      Yes you can hit an Alternator or Starter and possibly get a little more life out of it but I would test and service said part.. ASAP..
      As far as a magnetic clutch on an Alternator... I haven't ever seen one in this application.
