Why does the engine shut down when the battery cable is removed on your 2005 ford focus?
Alternator is rated at 110 amps. The alternator should provide the voltage required to run the engine. It should handle the system current load. Check the alternator if there is a charge voltage. Turn the engine off and measure the voltage across the two battery terminals with a DC volt meter. Start the engine and measure the voltage across the battery terminals. Look for an increase in voltage on the volt meter. Typically it can go as high as 14.7 volts. If the voltage stays the same as when measuring the across the terminals with the engine off, the alternator is probably bad. If the voltage is charging but not much higher than when the engine is in the off position, some diodes could have burned out in the alternator. Also check the charging wires and ground wires coming from the battery.
