Fixed it right up. Took a bit to find it, but I highly suggest checking all wires at the alternator for continuity. Could save you a lot more time. If you have any more questions, let me know.

Ok, so I traced the wires some more and tested each fuse link. All the fuse links tested good. So I tried to see where exactly it was failing. Traced to a junction box that was close and found that somewhere between the fuse link and the junction continuity was failing. So I took ALL the clips...

So they go through a fuse link BEFORE the PD Box? I wasn't able to see that but maybe it is heavily covered with shielding. I'm going to stop on my way home and pick up a new multimeter. Do you have a reference to that site so I can take a look as well? Also, am I wrong when we talk...

I bought this vehicle used. One other owner. The fuse box in that link is nothing at all like mine. I'm thinking that production in Canada was a little different. (I think we have or had a Ford factory here) I was able to find an online manual for my vehicle. Dead Link Removed That is...

It starts off that way until I run it and the battery drains without the alternator charging. Maybe the Y/WH wire runs down to the starter? I had the 2001 Charging System Diagram and a picture of the Power Dist Box from another post. The picture showed where the mega fuse (175A) was on...

Sure. I was looking for fuse 14(30A) and 5(50A). Neither exist in my system. I do have the owners manual. It doesn't show a fuse for 14 or 5 either, and nothing shows ALT SYS fuse. I used my multimeter to test for continuity on all the fuses in the Power Dist Box. They all passed.

Cleaned, terminals and connectors. Actually replaced the connectors because they were looking bad. Every schematic I have seen, shows fuse numbers that the vehicle doesn't use. No fuse is blown in the power distribution box. Fuse-able Links test good as well.( They are the square long fuses...

Hey everyone, I am having a problem with my charging system. The alternator is not charging my battery or running the vehicle. If I do a fresh charge on the battery the vehicle runs for a bit, then dies due to a dead battery. I have replaced the alternator, tested the battery, and replaced...
