only need to change a battery if the battery is not holding a charge suffient to start the engine
How do you remove and replace the battery on a 2001 Ford F150?
To change the battery in a Ford (2005) F150 pickup truck - one needs to open the hood and identify where the battery is. It should be on the passenger side, right next to the chassi. You need to disconnect the positive and negative leads and unscrew the bolts holding the battery. You then can replace the battery using the same setup.
Disconnect and remove the battery. Cut off the spoiled terminal and replace. Replace battery. Reconnect.
Check the output of the alternator--should be 14.2 volts
Your battery is not being charged
you should first check the battery with a load tester. fill battery charge battery test again replace if needed
should but what run to long because all power in/on truck running off battery
the internals of the transmisision is the same should be be able to switch out, but may have to change bell housing on the tranys
I had this problem. The alternator was fine, it was the battery that was bad. The alternator was "pegging" out the indicator bc it was trying to charge the battery, but it wasnt taking charge. Take the battery out and have it checked.
Should be on the firewall. In the 97 F150 it is near the battery and there are actually 2 of these fuses, the red cable coming off of the alternator runs into one side of one of the fuses and the other side runs to the positive side of the battery cable.
locate the x fuse in the engine right side test it
