What should i do with 2000 ford ranger xlt after changing battery and alternator and still no effect to charging system. Idiot light doesn't even come on and alternator wont charge battery.?
Check fusable links
I have replaced the alternator starter and the solenoid on my 1991 Ford Ranger and when you disconnect the battery cable it kills the engine. What else can be wrong?
Never disconnect a battery while an engine is running!
2000 ranger new alternator and batter not charging?
There is a wire from the alternator to the starter motor. On the starter motor end, there is a fusible link that sometimes melts. With the engine off, check the battery volts and check the volts on the big red alternator wire. If they are not the same voltage, the link is open. If the link is open, the battery will not charge
Your 1997 ford ranger battery light is low and the battery keeps dying is it the alternator?
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)
Why does the battery die in my 1995 4.0 ford ranger?
You probably have a bad alternator or bad wiring.
Why after replacing the alternator and the battery on your 1996 Ford would the gauge not show a charge or discharge?
if it is like a ranger there is a plug on the driver's side wheel well that looks connected but squeeze it together it should work
Why would the battery light stay on after battery replacement on 2004 ford ranger edge?
It might have something to do with the alternator.......... or maybe there is a short in the wiring
What does it mean when the battery light comes on for a 2000 ford ranger?
Your battery isn't being charged or accepting a charge
91 ford ranger 4liter The starter was bad the alt was bad and the battery was bad replaced them all truck runs but drains the battery over night Short Where?
sounds like to me the voltage regulator is bad.if it is mounted on the fire wall replace it could possible short all of that againIn that year & size engine, the VR is probably integral to the alternator, that is, the alternator & VR is usually changed as an assembly.The battery ground cable may be bad. The cable runs along the frame on thepassenger side. My '90 Ranger 4.0 had the same problem, found the cable was corroded/frayed at a clamp in the fender area. Replaced the cable, no more battery drain. FYI, NAPA was the only parts store that carried the correct cable at the time I replaced it.
What happens when you remove a battery cable on a 1991 Ford Ranger 2.9 while running?
You run the risk of damaging the alternator.
What could be some reasons why a 1986 Ford Ranger truck will not start?
Loose cables, bad battery, alternator or starter.
