Have you checked the alternator "exciter" pigtail connector.. It's 1 tiny 20-22 gauge wire and if tugged on too hard will disconnect from the pigtail even though it may look still attached

With it off it won't allow the alternator to work properly and charge the car..


If you have someone scan your car with hptuners it might show that code p1637

I had a similar issue and it ended up being that
