  1. Thanks, guys for the info. Just a follow-up, the mechanic checked the connections and couldn't find any issue and the warning lights stopped. I think they forgot to connect something correctly but didn't fess up to screwing up. Fingers crossed.
  2. I think they did test for Voltage drop but is there anything else it might be.
  3. Last week the battery light came on. I took it in and they figured it was the alternator. Fine I paid, they installed a new one, and on the way home the battery light came on, then it went off a minute later than the came back a few minutes later than the advance track glitched (beeped), then the ABS brake light came on, and when I turn off the car the Throttle Control/Powertrain warning light blinks and stays blinking. WTF!!! Of course, I took it back, and it's been in the shop for 4 days. I called and he said he tested at the alternator and it was putting out about 14v but at the battery, it sometimes drops to about 8v. They swapped the battery with a good one and the same issue. It happens completely at random, it might run fine for 10 minutes then goes out. As for as running goes it sounds fine but it's not charging enough when it glitches. I figured they got a bad alternator but again they have had it for 4 days and no updates. I can fix mechanical but electrical is out of my wheelhouse.
  4. FYI if anyone else tried to figure this out the part above appears to only be available if you buy the entire wire loom. Thanks a lot Ford. Im using some of the zip ties with the hole on the end and just putting a nut on to hold them in place It's jerry-rigged but should work.
  5. Not having any luck finding the part online. Does anyone know the model number of the ziptie standoffs that stick onto the bolts of the valve covers on the 3.5L. The local Ford parts guy is an idiot and had no idea what I'm talking about.
