2000 ford expadition battery/alternater problem

Battery was shot radio and windows would not work so i jumped it drove it a couple miles to another house and changed battery. Battery light was still on then left running and voltage was drained. Changed alternator and battery light is still on and truck stalls when running and I disconnect the positive terminal  on the battery. Though i got a bad alternator and changed it again but still happens.

I have a 2000 Ford Expodition, After changing the alternator for the third and final time, I jump started it several time till I could get it to a repair shop, the owner looked at several things and did a few test. then replaced the #1 fuse a 20Amp Power point fuse that was blown. it has worked fine ever since. BTW he did not charge me anything, made a new firend and customer.

Take an have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . Guessing an replacing parts isn't the way . The charging system on your vehicle is computer controlled by the PCM - engine computer,. Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop.

How do i know when my alternator is going bad

If the batt light is on, the alternator is not charging the battery.
If the battery won't hold a charge, it could be failing.
If you are having a specific problem with your PT Cruiser or Mustang, let us know what it is.

wow if your battery is that old i would get a different one but you can have the battery and alternator tested for free at a auto parts store they can tell you if its junk or not but thats why your having them problems when your alternater spins it charges the battery if the battery is no good it wont hold a charge and you car will die now it the alternater is bad it will not keep the battery charged and your car will die.

Battery dead this morning...just got a couple of clicks. the light and radio work. got a jump and drove it for 40 min. wont start again

More then likely a bad cell in the battery, so it won't hold a charge, jump it and go to any auto parts, they will check the battery and alternator for free, I don't think it's the alternator, due to you drove it for 40 min with no trouble, if it was the alternator, the car would have turn off on you while driving it.Most of these auto parts will also install the battery for you for free.

Hello. Get a jump or recharge the battery and then drive it to a garage and have the charging system checked. Also, make sure the connectors are free of corrosion. If in doubt, clean up the contacts with some emory cloth. J.
