Product Overview
The 04801304AC is a Chrysler Mopar-spec replacement alternator delivering 12V 160A output with a 6-rib (6PK) pulley, engineered for the Chrysler Town and Country Touring mini passenger van. This high-output aftermarket unit matches the original charging-system specification for this popular family MPV platform.
Fitted with internal regulator design, this brand-new alternator is stocked in-house with a 1-year warranty and 10-day dispatch lead-time. The 160-amp rating is factory-correct for the heavy electrical load of this family van, supporting climate control, rear entertainment, powered doors and seats, and factory electrical equipment.
Key physical specs: net weight 5.6 kg, gross weight 5.9 kg, overall dimensions 240 x 180 x 170 mm, supplied inside neutral kraft inner carton.
The Town and Country Platform and 160A High-Output Charging System
The Chrysler Town and Country is a full-size family minivan with a substantial factory electrical load, which is why the charging system is rated at 160A rather than a lower output. Powering climate control, heated and powered accessories, rear-seat entertainment and convenience electronics places continuous demand on the charging system.
This high-output unit is specified as 12V 160A, matching the factory charging-system specification of these platforms. The 6-rib pulley matches the original accessory-belt layout, driving alternator, water pump and power-steering pump. Installing a pulley with the wrong rib count will cause belt mis-tracking, slippage, premature belt wear and charging faults. Always cross-check against your old alternator before ordering.

Engine Compatibility and Cross Reference
This alternator fits the Chrysler Town and Country Touring mini passenger van. Because this platform was produced across many years with several engine options, do not rely solely on vehicle model name for fitment validation; always verify engine code, old-part OE number, pulley rib-count and amp label on your original alternator.
| Vehicle | Engine Code | Notes |
|---|
| Chrysler Town and Country | Verify engine code | Verify 6PK, 160A and mounting layout |
Multiple Mopar, Lucas and supplier OE numbers appear across production batches and regional market specifications for this same alternator family. If your original unit bears one of the listed cross-reference numbers, 04801304AC serves as a direct drop-in replacement.
What to Look for in a Replacement
Follow these five verification steps before placing your order to avoid wrong-part returns:
1. Check the amperage label on your old alternator: confirm it is rated for 160A. Different amp ratings are not interchangeable.
2. Count pulley ribs: this unit requires 6PK (6-rib). Units with a different rib count are incompatible for this accessory drive setup.
3. Confirm engine code and production year of the Town and Country match the original fitment.
4. Match against OE / reference part numbers stamped on your original housing.
5. Weight cross-check: genuine matching unit weighs approximately 5.6 kg net; significant weight difference indicates wrong assembly.
Application Scenarios
Independent repair shops and Chrysler-Dodge specialists servicing Town and Country, Grand Caravan and Caravan across North America, Middle East, Europe and Asia-Pacific markets.
Parts counters and jobbers stocking American-brand MPV replacement electrical components.
Family van owners restoring and maintaining original-spec Chrysler minivans.
Used-car export traders supplying pre-owned Chrysler vehicles to global secondary markets.
Owners with heavy electrical accessories who require a factory-spec high-output charging system.
Note: This is a high-output 160A unit for stock-spec family-van electrical loads. Confirm the original amperage before replacing a lower-rated alternator, and ensure the vehicle wiring and battery can support the higher output.
FAQ
Q: Which Chrysler models does this alternator fit?
A: It fits the Chrysler Town and Country Touring mini passenger van. Always verify against the OE number, pulley and mounting layout of your original alternator before ordering.
Q: Is this alternator new?
A: Yes, this is a brand-new high-output unit with a 1-year warranty and 10-day dispatch lead-time.
Q: My old alternator shows OE number 11243N or 4210000540, will 04801304AC work?
A: Yes. These numbers belong to the same alternator family, differing only by production revision and market specification. It serves as a direct replacement.
Q: What is the normal charging voltage after installation?
A: With the engine running, output voltage should read 14.0V-14.7V. If it is lower than 13.8V or higher than 15V, check wiring or belt tension.
Q: Does the vehicle need any calibration after installation?
A: For Town and Country models equipped with an intelligent charging system, use an OBD scanner to perform generator initialization and BMS calibration; otherwise the system cannot correctly recognise the charging status.
Q: What is your warranty and lead-time?
A: Goods are in stock with a 10-day dispatch lead-time. A 1-year warranty applies from installation date; warranty excludes damage caused by mis-installation, wrong belt tension, or vehicle-wiring faults.
In Practice
For technicians working on the Chrysler Town and Country platform: the core of installation is power-off protection, precise alignment, standardised wiring and commissioning verification.
Preparation: Confirm the new alternator is fully compatible with the vehicle model and year, and that mounting holes, pulley diameter and terminal definitions match. Prepare socket wrench, torque wrench, belt tensioner, crowbar, gloves, rag, thread locker (optional) and a multimeter. Disconnect the negative battery cable and place the cable end away from metal components to prevent accidental short circuits.
Removal: Loosen the belt tensioner with a wrench or special tool, remove the drive belt and take a photo to record the belt routing. Remove the mounting bolts one by one (usually 2-3), gently take out the old alternator, disconnect the wiring connector or fixing nuts at the back, and label each wire position. Clean dust, oil and rust from the engine mounting surface.
Installation: Align the new alternator with the mounting bracket holes, initially tighten the mounting bolts leaving adjustment margin. Install the belt according to the original routing and adjust tension: the deflection at the middle of the belt should be 10-15 mm when pressed. Fully tighten the mounting bolts to 28-32 N.m with a torque wrench; a small amount of thread locker can be applied for anti-loosening.
Wiring: Connect the wires according to the marks: the thick charging wire connects to the B+ terminal, and the thin wire (exciter wire) connects to the F or IGN terminal. Do not reverse the connections. Clean terminals to remove rust and oxide layers, tighten nuts or fully insert connectors, and use charging wire of 10AWG or larger gauge. Route wires away from high-temperature areas such as the exhaust pipe and avoid wire entanglement.
Commissioning: Reconnect the negative battery cable, start the engine and let it idle for 3-5 minutes. Listen for abnormal bearing noise or belt-slipping sound. Test output voltage with a multimeter: the normal range is 14.0-14.7V; if lower than 13.8V or higher than 15V, troubleshoot wiring or belt tension. For intelligent-charging-system models, use an OBD scanner to perform generator initialization and BMS calibration. Recheck mounting bolts and wiring, then organise the harness and complete a short test drive.
Safety reminders: Never touch the positive and negative terminals simultaneously with metal tools. Keep away from rotating pulleys and high-temperature engine components. If you have no automotive repair experience, entrust the work to a professional repair shop.
