Your battery light comes on randomly on your 1998 Ford expedition you just had the alternator changed and a loose wire attached to the alternator fixed yet the light still randomly comes on?

Your car has issues. Some of my friends also have fords. Some of them work and some of them don't work. In my opinion cars are getting cheaper and cheaper. Not in price, but in quality.

Where is the alternator fuse on a 1997 expedition?
I have a 1997 ford expedition that the alternator is not charging the battery. Had the alternator tested and it was good the battery is new. Cant find the fuse for the alternator does anyone know where it is?
Why did the battery light on the 2001 ford expedition come on?
Check battery connections, check alternator out put. Exc.
MY car battery light is still on after the alternator and the battery has been changed. The battery cables are clean and well attached. Now what?
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. A replacement alternator can be bad. If it is ok than most likely a poor connection to the alternator.
1997 ford expedition battery light comes on and goes off when accelerated?
more than the alternator diode is bad have the alternator checked
Where is the alternator fuse for the 1997 Ford Expedition?
the 20 amp alternator field minifuse is loosley connected below the lower 175 amp alternator megafuse on the firewall next to the battery.
What can cause the battery light to come on in a 2000 Expedition but the voltage gauge reads fine?
Possible bad alternator.
What would cause the battery to drain on a 1999 Ford Expedition 1999?
Bad Battery. Bad Alternator. Lights left on by mistake. Something left running. Exc.
I have a 2001 jeep commander and it randomly stopped working it wont turn on?
If your 2001 Jeep Commander randomly stopped working and won't turn on, you likely have one of two problems. Your battery is dead, or your alternator is dead.
What is wrong if the battery light is on in a 1999 Ford Expedition and it has 11.5 volts at battery and you replaced the alternator and it dies if the battery cable is pulled while running?
Check out the battery cables. Make sure that they are connected good and not corroded or damaged. Also check the connections at the alternator. I had a 97 Expedition with a battery indicator, 12.4 volts at the battery with the engine off and 11.6v with the engine running. Replaced the alternator and then had 11.9 v with the engine running. Checked the alternator fuses on the firewall and found the 175a alternator output fuse blown. Replaced the fuse and voltage then read 14.3 with the engine running. Not sure if the fuse was blown before the alternator was replaced or not as I never thought a 175a fuse could blow without fireworks. 2 cents: Fuse..... Also check for defective replacement alternator, alternator rebuilt with incorrect regulator, damaged instrument panel cluster, or damaged or poorly connected wiring. Rocky_B Sounds like a dead battery cell. 1) Engine OFF - A servicable battery will show 12.5 volts at the terminals, anything less and you have dead or dying cells - Replace the battery. 2) Engine RUNNING - A good alternator should put out 14volts or more. 13-14volts=weak alternator, If voltage at the terminals is the same or lower after starting, your alternator might not be putting out anything or you have bad diode pairs in the voltage regulator. With most newer models the voltage regulator is attached to the alternator, so you replace both. If the voltage regulator is not attached to the alternator, you still want to replace both as voltage regulators tend to become mated to the old alternator's output over time. replacing just the alternator could cause the voltage regulator to fail.
1999 Ford Expedition battery light on?
The battery light indicates the system is not charging. Have the charging system checked. If the alternator is not charging, the engine will quit running and leave you stranded.
Battery light is still on even after changing battery and alternator The Ford Expedition XLT 2000 is lossing charg so what could be the problem?
battery fuse is burned out, its in the fuse box inside engine compartment.
What could be causing the the battery light to stay on after replaceing the battery in a 2003 Ford Expedition?
The battery light comes on when the alternator is not charging. Changing the battery did nothing. Either put a gauge on the battery to see if it is charging, or while running, disconnet the positive cable from the battery. If the car dies that means the alternator is not charging. Most parts stores will check it for free. Oriely's , Autozone, etc.
