Edu Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Planned to go out this morning, so i started my Ford Edge 2012 SEL and had a check charging system light on. I did a quick check and discovered that the alternator was not charging the battery. Battery voltage was 11.4v with engine running. I disconnected the voltage regulator (3 pin plug) that connects to the alternator and tested for voltage on the terminals. One terminal had voltage equal to the battery voltage but the other 2 terminals had no voltage. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? is my alternator bad?

macbwt Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 To really check it you will have to connect it up to a system analyzer. I use the Solar BA7 and confirmed my alternator was not charging. They are a bit of a pain to replace so do not go cheap as it is a job you don't want to do twice. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqUBpIGk7rJrEUxvM7ydBk6KBNE-pyU9- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
