alternator

Hello everybody. I have an 02 explorer with a 4.0. Recently while driving the battery light would come on and the battery gauge would drop while driving. If I charge up the battery it holds the charge until the vehicle is running. Then after about 30 minutes the gauge drops and the lights...

Replaced the battery after it was being drained daily and causing the vehicle to die. The alternator sounds to be the problem, but had it tested when the battery died and it was charging ok. So, is this a common problem? - any suggestions are welcomed/over 100k miles on this EB edition &...

My 97 explorer sport is having issues starting and I just replaced the battery. First couple times, jumper cables started it. Last week, had to call AAA - they said the battery was fine, most likely an issue with the starter. I could hear the clicking sound when turning the key. The AAA guy...

Hello y'all. I have a 2010 Explorer. Just replaced the battery and alternator about two weeks ago. This morning on the way into work I had the AC on, phone charging and radio going. About half way to work all the interior lights (minus the radio) started to shut off every time pushed on the...

Just wanted to post this up in case it can help someone. My 98 v8 was cranking slow, battery not charging, and the charge gauge was fluctuating. I grabbed an alternator off one of my other v8's and installed it. the charging was good and all was well. Two weeks later it starts doing it again but...

2 weeks ago, my engine would start trying to stall when I took my foot off the accelerator when pulling up to traffic stop, or quickly taking foot off of peddle ( when revs are low ) The RPM needle would dip to about 400rpm, buzzer come on, Engine would either stall or nearly stall. Last...

I have a 2000 explorer 4.0 OHV, my battery light came on last week, check the alternator and all signs pointed to my alternator. So went to the parts store, his machine was down so I bought the new part anyways (we just bought the truck) thought it wouldn't hurt. Well everything went well but...

Why is this alternator circuit different from all the others and all the diagrams? The regulator does not connect directly to the field connection. Bought this 1995 Edie Bauer Explorer in May 14. Garaged all it's life. Everything looks like new. It doesn't normally get much use so before a...

My mountaineer has a low emissions sticker on it an I live where emissions is not a big deal. I was wondering if I can delete my egr on the truck if I can were can I find the parts to do so. Any input would be great. Also my volts drop on the gauge so I had it tested an they said battery is...

Well this weekend proved to be one huge mess. My valve covers were leaking again so we decided to fix the problem one more time. The bolt on the back of the alternator broke the rest of the way friday night (was partially broken since i bought the vehicke 2 years ago) had a guy fix that thank...

Hey guys! This is my first post on this forum and I could really use some help. I bought a 2003 Explorer Sport, 4wd, Automatic shift, about 6 months ago. When I first bought it, I noticed that the headlights were flickering somewhat. If you just glanced at them, you wouldn't be able to tell it...

Ok. I'm getting geared up to upfit my alternator (funny the Ford manual still refers to them as a generator). Anyone figured out how to shoehorn in the '05 Crown Vic Police Interceptor 200 amp stock alt into the V6 Explorer? NFW I am paying 200-300 for a so-called upgraded/high output...

well tonight my battery light came on once again. went home and tested the alternator. it read 11.69 volts running and a little over 12 while the car was off. with this said i do have 2 sets of 55 watt HIDS and a 12 volt air compressor that constantly runs. with this being about my third stock...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I posted with a problem. Here goes. I have a 2000 SOHC explorer that squeals on startup, as well as idle. It squeals at idle only with my lights and blower on. During the squeal my battery gauge will drop. Once I give it gas the gauge returns to normal...

Hey guys I just signed up here. I'm a Blackhawk mechanic in the Army and I have a question about a rattling I have coming from my engine. First of all I am not much of a car mechanic, but through about 15 minutes of Googling I have narrowed down my problem. I got under the car and saw that a...

Okay, back in April the original alternator on my 03 explorer went out. I changed it out, no problem. About 5 weeks ago, battery light started going in and off but still ran fine. It ended up dying after about 2 weeks. Had the alternator checked and replaced. If I drive it short distances...

I have a 2006 XLT Explorer 4x4 4.0L I have been having trouble keeping the battery charged, and I am not sure if it is the battery or charging system. The battery is 2.5 years old. At first, it was slightly harder to start (an extra crank), so I thought it might be bad fuel. The battery...

I've searched and read the other posts about this but am still stumped. My newly replaced alternator is not charging my battery. I'm having to charge my battery every night until I resolve this. Here's a list of things I've done so far: 1994 Explorer XLT, 4.0 litre. Symptoms: Alternator...

hi fellas, so i was on my way back to my car which was parked at the train station, and it wouldnt start. i think it might be either the alternator, starter, or the anti-theft system. here are the symptoms: battery reads 10.47 V full power to everything in the car, but after i disconnected...

:salute:Hello Ford Enthusiasts! Im Tee, new to this forum. Just bought my used Explorer for $500 in October. Replaced windshield, tires, brake pads, fluids and filters. Took a leap of faith and Eddie took me all the way to Ohio from Va and back. Oh yeah, had that Lamp Out Module problem with...

After a lengthy top end rebuild, my 91 is up and running again. One snag I discovered is that my alternator has crapped out. According to the Haynes manual, the procedure to check the regulator and alternator has resulted in a need for a new alternator. Back probing the A and I pins show...

Ok, so my wife's car fried another alternator. This will be the third new alternator since we bought the car new. Has anyone heard of this issues and what could be the root cause? It has about 120k miles and has had all the regular maintenance performed. Car's in great shape besides this...

Well after a quick check at the shop I know for sure my alternators bad. I would like to get a higher amp alternator for future projects, but I don't NEED to spend the money atm. In fact standard alternators are a bit much, but I have to get it replaced. I may just go too the junkyard and get a...
