Hi all
im having a problem with the charging system on my 1993 explorer xlt 4.0
the alternator was making a squealing grinding noise yesterday then the
battery light came on.....so i obviously changed the alt....sure enough
the bearings were all gone so a replaced the alt with a spare i had laying around ......started up and same prob battery light on and not charging
so i figured the one i had laying around was also toast so i bought a new one(not rebuilt) and same prob not charging......i then changed the battery with a newer one i had in my other car .....same prob.......
so i read around these forums for a bit and seems like this is not a rare problem.......i read about a 175amp fuse i could check but after a while of looking around i could not find the location of it .......also i read about a 30 amp fuse in the engine compartment fuse box ....which one would be for the alternator????? the ignition one? i dont have a manual
thank you in advance for any insight any one could send this way
