hey guys. got a bit of a problem here. i have a 2004 3.4L. the alternator is mounted on the top passenger side with the electrical connection on top. that connection got crushed. the charging system light came on (looks like a little battery). so, i thought that the alternator was just trashed. i ordered one a week and a half ago, got it today, put it in. car ran fine. the light was still on so i let it run in my driveway. when i came back to it 15 minutes later, it had died. now it won't start, i'm sure because the battery has been drained somehow. what else could be wrong even with a working alternator in it?
