If anyone has a idea let me know. Chrysler sebring 2.5 coupe hard top. The other day in the rain my battery light came on and the radio cut out and the wipers slowed down lights dimmed. Turned car off wont start. Next day jump the car and it charged fine. No battery light. Noticed a whine sound or grinding sound while car runs. While running unplug negative from battery sound goes away. Today car in rain, lights dimm and check engine light comes on with no battery light. Turn car off, try to turn over and have no lights nothing electrical works. Battery is fine.
Any ideas? changed plugs and wires due to a skip recently.

Believe you need an alternator. Removed NEG and noise stops because alt no longer is operating.
