2001 Ford Sport trac Charging Problems

I can't get the battery charge light to come on. I have put two Altenators, batery, and checked all my fuses. I even when and bought another instrument cluster, does the same thing. It will charge but I am only getting a little over 12 volts. When I put the new cluster in I got it to charge 14 but that did not last very long. I don't have a draw from the battery when the key is off. Sean

Check all major grounding points clean all with brush or grinder and use vaseline on connection points. This will include the motor to chassis ground as well as battery to frame ground (very important).

I suggest the possibility of a loose connector, maybe the main engine connector remove inspect pins apply diaelectric compound and reconnect the connector with care to assure good contact with all pins.

SOURCE: direction on how to replace instrument

  • Pry the plate around the radio/heat controls off.
  • Disconnect the 4WD switch connector at the switch.
  • Disconnect the foglight switch connector at the switch.
  • Disconnect the rear wiper switch connector at the switch, if equipped.
  • Remove the panel surrounding the cluster itself. Bolts above the steering wheel in the shroud.
  • Remove the instrument cluster. Should be four bolts.
  • If you have an illumination bulb out, replace it with a #194 or a #168 bulb.
  • If you have a warning light out, replace it with a PC74 bulb.
  • Installation is reverse of removal. TEST BEFORE YOU PUT EVERYTHING BACK IN.
You're done.

Battery light is on n ijust put a new battery

Battery light normally means the charging system is not working.
Take it to an auto store and have them check the charging system.Usually free of charge.
Could be an alternator or something as simple as a fuse.

Battery light is on n ijust put a new battery

Could be your alternator. Typically the battery light goes on only where there is a failure in the charging system. The batter has no built in feature to trigger a light fault. Go by any sears, autozone, parts supplier and they can test your charging system. It does not cost anything and give you an answer in 2 minutes. Also, if your car is putting out less than 13 volts while running you have a charging issue. That will drain the battery.

The "Check Charging System" light came on my 07 Sport Trac. Its been off and on for the passed week. While driving home today my dash, radio, and all electronics turned off while I was driving. I still...

Loose connection or alternator issue. Need to check the battery cables for a bad connection going to the alternator or to ground. That light comes on when voltage to the ECU drops below a threshold voltage. Sounds like a bad alternator. The light come on brighter when the engine is off because there is no other electrical load being drawn from the battery ( no coils or injectors or fuel pump running) Recharge the battery and have a mechanic check the charging system.
