There is a couple of semi-related posts, but no solid answer.
Here's the deal - a couple of days ago I was driving and the lights dimmed, several warning lights came on, sputtered and bucked a little, hit the brakes and the radio went off. Parked it.
Suspected alternator. Towed to house, pulled alternator and battery, had tested at local auto parts store. Battery fine, alt. bad.
Replaced with Palladium (re-manned), same 130 amp.
Now battery / charging light won't go off. Never was on before alt crapped out. Runs/starts fine, system tested at store, everything ok. Battery, volts, amps, load and no load.
Ford even has a TSB, with no fix of course.
