Unfortunately, the charging system is controlled by the computer, and that is where the voltage regulator is located, it is not serviceable. Not the first time I've seen the computer on a Chrysler needing replaced due to charging system problems. Best to go with Chrysler parts, as a lot of aftermarket computers just don't work. Plus you will most likely need it flashed to your vehicle. Sorry
