Radio says ''BAD'' in my 1993 explorer

The alternator went out in my 1993 ford explorer, after I got a new one put in, my radio just reads "BAD" and won't respond to any buttons. It won't turn on, but the fact that it reads "BAD" suggests that it is still getting power to it.

    My radio is factory, yes. No CD player or anything, just tape deck and am/fm.

    I turned my '93 Explorer on after work today and had the same problem. Radio worked on the way to work this morning, not on the way home. Only thing I found relating to it was this.

Battery light flashing

The battery light on, is an indication of alternator failure. If your battery is more than 3 years old it needs replacement . A bad battery can damage a new alternator (full field condition). The age of your truck warrants inspection of the charging system. It requires at Least 20 amps output, from the alternator to run the engine.

A ford needs a fully charged battery to work the alternator. You may burn out the replacement alternator by hooking it up to a dead battery. Get the battery charged and have it load tested. You may have a bad battery and it should be checked. http://www.cardone.com/english/club/select/electrical/protech/tech_bulletins/PT37-0006.pdf

Will not change gear until you have done about 2 miles. 1993 ford explorer 4ltr v6 left hand drive ( eddie bouer )

How many miles? Get the transmission serviced. Get the filter changed and get new fluid put in. Ford transmissions arent that great, but try getting the transmission serviced. I got a ford taurus that was said to have a bad trans. I changed the filter and put a new filter in. Voila, a 500 dollar car turned into a 3000 dollar car. : )
