1995 Dodge Caravan keeps draining the battery

Asked by GuruSWKR9 May 18, 2019 at 08:50 PM about the 1995 Dodge Caravan SE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1995 Dodge Caravan that died on me while driving it. Engine would
crank but not turn over. When I got it to the repair shop they said the battery
was faulty and replaced it. We brought it home and the next day it was dead
again. This time we were told the alternator was the issue and replaced it.
Two days later it is cranking but not turning over again. Any ideas of what is
causing this?

first of all cranking IS turning over , ( it cranks /turns over and it either starts or not ) , You need a real mechanic and possibly a technician if there's a parasitic drain on the batt. I don't think the person you bought it to last time knows what they are doing .
