It's just odd.

Before I took it in, I tested the battery, Autozone tested the battery. We both agreed it was good. Yesterday the dealer tells me the alternator is bad but I should replace the battery because it is heavily discharged. Not that it was bad, it was discharged. LOL I passed on the $350 battery replacement. I was told it should be done today.

I call today and the car isn't ready because they are replacing the PCM and the Alternator. We are now waiting on the PCM.

It just struck me odd to swap the PCM without removing and testing the alternator first. Kinda like they were padding the repairs because they were not getting paid enough by Chrysler. I don't care but I may be on the hook for the $100 deductible for the PCM.

I didn't want to throw stones until I knew what was up.

I am still not convinced that it needs a PCM or that they are padding the bill. shruggy

Car ran fine just no alternator output. I know the PCM is the voltage regulator on some cars but they should at least pull and test the alternator.
