charging

Long time listener, first time caller. I have a 2014 XLT 2wd 3.5 135k that I've been having some slight charging issues with. Preface is when driving in snow or heavy rain the battery stops charging, voltage drops eventually to ~11.5v and eventually the alternator starts charging again. When...

Curious if anyone else is having issues with their wireless charging pad. I have a 2023 Explorer Limited and my iPhone 16 Pro will connect when I place it on the pad but after a while it disconnects after a minute or more. If I jiggle it around it will reconnect only to disconnect again after a...

Hey everyone. So I bought a 200 amp alternator but it has the battery cable stud on the back, not the right angle adapter that puts it on top of the alternator. Does anyone know where to get the adapter? It'll make the connection a lot easier when I go to connect a heavy cable to it. Thanks.

Hey all, made this account here to see if anyone could possibly help me out with this problem as I'm at a complete loss. I have a stock 2000 Ford Explorer Sport with the 4.0 OHV V6 About 2 days ago when I dropped my stepdaughter off for school I noticed that when I put the truck in Park the...

Hello, Recently the battery died on my wife's 2016 Explorer Limited. After I replaced it with a new battery, most things seemed to be working normally, but the USB ports (one in the front bin, another inside the console) are no longer working to charge phones or connect them to the electronics...

My Aviator was in the shop recently and the dealer loaned me a Corsair. As I was checking the Corsair out I noticed a part in the center console that I did not have on my Aviator. It appeared to be clip that allowed your phone to be held in place while it was wirelessly being charged inside...

Hi all, new to the forums and semi-new to Ford. Traded in our previous family vehicle on a 2016 Ford Explorer Limited 4WD. It was a former Enterprise Rental (wasn't thrilled about that, but the offer was too good to pass up). As we approached 36k miles, I desperately wanted to have the...

Well the last few days my explorer has been doing some wierd things. When I start it this annoying beep goes on for about a minute and today when I turned the truck on and put it in drive it jerked forward then beeped then shut off with the message check charging system. At this point I'm...

Am I expecting to much from a new battery or is there really that much draw. I picked up my X yesterday and last night and this afternoon, I spent about 20-25 minutes inside, engine off but in active accessory mode, just playing with MFT and Sync. Both times , I end up with a completely...

Ok...so I've got a brand new battery, brand new alternator. Cleaned all of the connections really well, hooked up all of the wires and double checked my work. Belt is not slipping, no frayed wires or anything. Yet I'm still getting an alternator light on the dash and the voltage is not going up...

2003 Explorer XLS 4.0L/Auto, 73xxx Miles The Explorer is my wifes car, so my original failure information is from her perspective: For the last month the battery light would come on randomly about once a week, usually for less then an hour. Last friday night the battery light came on and...

OK, so I'm gonna sound like a total n00b on this one, but I bought a set of manifold gauges at Advance a little more than a week ago since I noticed my A/C system's performance left something to be desired. Turned out I needed refrigerant. So I decide to add the refrigerant and attach the tap...
