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.

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.

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.
check your fuses for charge/alt.. maybe just blew a fuse, i think there may be 2 boxes under hood and one in pass compartment.. check all connections on terminals and clean all to eliminate that being an issue...
you mean no alt.output or burn wiring,if burn wiring you can get a connector in any parts store,if not you need to check your fuse its a 7.5 amps for charging system
