Hello All
First, forgive me my English, I'm Russian.
This is my 1st post here.
My details: 2013 Lim+, 294 hp
I'm very tired with goddamn issue - Check charging system (and battery icon).
Diler told me that this is because of alternator itself. A new alternator costs too much and also I don't believe diler . Moreover, I was told from one electric guy that ford alternators are pretty lasting.
So I found some used alternator with poor mileage and replaced it. Also I replaced the battery by new one.
But I was happy 3 weeks only. Now that message appears again (check charging system).
So my next thought is a cable. Cable part number is DB5Z-14300-B (by my VIN).
So my qestions are:
1) From where does this cable go to? From alternator itself?
2) Is there (within the cable) a wire from alternator to PCM (let me call it the 'car brain'). Because last year I had the same issue and it was fixed by repairing that wire. It was corroded or smth like this. So maybe it just happened again.
And offf topic question. Why the cable called BATTERY TO BATTERY? It should have been called ALTERNATOR TO BATTERY cable, isn't it?
3) If it's not a cable, then what is that???
Thanks in advance.
Have a nice day to everyone
