Charging system I have a 2000 ford explorer xlt. 4.0 SOHC v6. I put a new alternator in it twice and a new battery. The old alternator tested bad and 2nd alternator tested good but still wont charge battery or run the truck. with new battery it ran for half the day 40 miles of start and stopping then is dead again. The voltage gage was barely above the L mark when new battery and alternator was put in.

    Just had to have my 2003 Ford Explorer jumped. And my battery gage slowly went down to the bottom, and ABS light turned on along with the battery light. Battery one year old. Is it the alternator?

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

2007 Ford Explorer (Eddie Bauer) Does anybody know what's wrong?

Anon (no miles odometer told)
the starter is dead?
if yes say so clearly,
starter silent, clicks, chatters or is 100% dead. silent.
starter dead has 6 causes (plus Alternator tests too)
engine dead up to 50 (valve springs broken of 24 there?)
step 1 is check fuses
#2 the jumper cable the battery and crank it over?
the new battery is now dead. discharged from excessive cranking,or learn to keep the battery charged until it starts again. once started we do alternator tests, 13v to 15vdc running at lugs of battery.
the engine shut off driving,? on the fly driving alternator bad
or fuses to it blown.
learn to use a voltmeter at the battery cranking
11vdc is par, CRANKING less means battery is weak or bad or simply discharged. a 2man test,1 cranks other measures battery lugs. all 4 lugs tight,and cleaned of rust.
2cables = 4 lugs. to fail.


we use tools and meters and tests to find what is wrong


what engine
4.0 L Cologne SOHC V6
4.6 L Modular 24-valve V8
?>??????/
VIN #8 code ?

cam chain failure?'
scans show cam timing off?

the driving to work stall sure can be the alternator dead
or just 16 year old bad spark plugs?
or 16 year old COP boots bad, sure the are that old
filters bad? clogged.
my guess (never accurate) guessing. is
when driving to work, the GEN/CHARGE/BATTERY
lamp in cluster was glowing and this is why it stalled
then didnt do the jumper cable jump starte
and see OMG all is good but the ALT /gen is dead.
and stalls again in say 1 hours, driving and battery is dead again , wash wear repeat.

On my 1998 v6 explorer, i had my alternator rebuilt twice, have bought a brand new one, which is still on there, replaced the battery with a new one. in-line fuse from alternator to battery is good. system...

Most charging circuits are in two sections, the section that charges the battery and the section that "turns on" the alternator when the engine starts. Your alternator has a built in regulator which is powered by a 15 amp fuse and a 7.5 amp fuse that also handles the gauge on the dash.
These circuits would need to be checked with a meter.
