Why would you even try that without asking that at the parts store
& having them both tested?

Do that

SOURCE: Charging system

change your battery cables and check all wires on the alternator for loose connections, expecially the grounds.

SOURCE: 2006 Ford Tarus Over Charging from Alternator

Could be a pinched wire that did not show up when new. May have worked thin over the years.... Though to locate at times..... Bulk head headers can be a culprit, any where a wire passes through or over metal parts. Check for corrosion near battery terminals and alternator as a corroded connector can be "seen" as a resistance to the alternator and it will output more amps to compensate.....

1 & 3 should be all you need. The middle one may be an extra ground or signal for PCM in another model. Colors on the harness are light green/red for pin 1 and orange/light blue for pin 3. OK?

SOURCE: got a 1990 ford taurus

Unfortunately if it was a rebuilt alternator it may have one bad diode causing it to bleed amps and drain the battery. With rebuilds this happens a lot these days. Either have the diodes tested or demand a different alternator under warranty.

2006 ford focus. I have installed new alternator and new battery but my battery light is still on

Checking for B+ volatge at the heavy gage wire on the back of the alternator an the smaller gage red wire in the connector pin #3 . Without B+ voltage at those wire's it won't work . The other two wire's in the connector come from the PCM - engine computer . Computer controlled charging system .

Ford focus 2005 battery light stays on new alternator , battery only 6 months old

First, a bad battery doesn't turn the light on. Just A bad alternator or ECM. Start the car. put a volt meter on the + and - sides of the battery. If it reads 12 to 15 volts (closer to 15 for a new alternator). The alternator is good. And is charging. The problem is the wiring or the ECM. It can be bypassed to turn the light off. I just did it a week ago. Problem is , I don't have the wiring diagram for your car. Don't get a book from the parts store, it won't tell you. Go to alldata or Mitchell and purchase a manual. It's online and lasts a year. But they give you good electrical schematics...

Ford f150 4.2 not charging put in new alt and batt

Fully charge your battery. Some years of Ford F150 had parts which would interrupt any battery drain to preserve the battery. This would include the charging circuit which was see as parasitic.

The Antitheft would also cause problems in the electric circuit.

The newer Alternators are not made to work as well as the old ones. If the new Alternators have to work too hard they will fail from overheating so a bad battery could cause the Alternator to never catch up.

Also go to Autozone.com for a free wiring and fusebox diagram when you register your truck online. Check if there is a inline fuse within the first 30" from the Alternator. Or check for a charging Relauy in the Powerbox diagram.
