    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    Wanted to give an update on my truck. It is finally fixed. Was able to find a buddy of mine that works for Ford and was willing to let me have access to the actual Ford Dealers website so that I could view schematics and troubleshooting guides that the service techs use. Ended up taking out...

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    Dave, wanted to let you know that I found a schematic that shows that fuselink you were talking about. On the schematic that I received from the Ford Dealers website shows the fuselink "E" 20 gauge Grey. It is located between the regulator plug and the battery side of the charging wire. I...

    That fuselink is part of the constant hot circuit and not part of the exciting voltage circuit. The #3 wire of the regulator plug is part of the reference circuiting so that the alternator can regulate how much voltage it puts out at varying RPM's of the motor.

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    On all the schematics I have seen, there doesn't appear to be a fusible link on that part of the alternator wiring. There are two fusible links from the alternator to the battery, but does not appear to be any on the regulator side back to the instrument cluster.

    Dave, do you know where that fused link is located by chance?

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    Additional update and request for more information. Talked to a Ford Service tech and he wasn't super helpful other then he wanted me to bring the truck in so he could run diagnostics on it and charge me over a $100 just for that. However he did say to see if the battery light came on when...

    It doesn't do that. I explained below my voltage readings I had from this.

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    Update to the issue. Okay had the batteries on the charger to charge back up this week. They tested good, which I am not suprised considering they are only about 10 days old. Cleaned the holy hell out of my battery clamps, terminals, alternator connector ring. Brushed them all up nice...

    I didn't mean to reply with the tone that I did, I am just frustrated with this stupid thing and and really needing to get it figured out.

    Thank you for that correction, do you have any thoughts on the REAL issue of my original post or just wanted to make sure I realized I stated the warranty coverage wrong for the alternator?

    The batteries are less than a week old, I replaced them last week the day after I put the new alternator in.

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    It is a 2005, no mods at all. The issue doesn't appear to be anything to do with the starter as the batteries die when it is running (alternator not charging) and then the batteries are so low that it can't do anything but click-click-click-click when I attempt to start it. I have...

    Alternator/Battery Charging issues

    Okay, here is my issue. My truck died while idling when I was letting it warm up. Went to start it back up and the batteries were totally dead, now keep in mind it started up perfectly 15 minutes or so prior. I figured my alternator went out, pulled it out took it to the parts store and it...
