- 2000 explorer xlt 4x4
Hello all!
Have a 2000 xlt 4x4 88,000 miles. Noticed that when I turn on my headlights the dash and temp/compass displays go dim. By what I've read it sounds like an alternator. It looks to be original (motorcraft). I replaced the battery about 4000 miles ago with a motorcraft. How do I diagnose this problem? And where exactly are the voltage checks to be made, at the battery or at the alternator?
Thanks!
Tony
