Voltage coming to the boart but not going to battery connector
SOURCE: battery light on.
some ford vehicles have an external voltage regulator. when theres more demand for power it gives it. but when theres too much itll lower it so it does not overcharge. at 1600 rpms there is more demand, plugs firing with more fuel in the cyl, if the alt is working properly the regulator could mess up and stop power from the alt. its a cheap fix or tryout...another big problem is ground if the system does not have an adequate ground nothin would work as it should.

Replace the Alternator. Sounds like the internal brushes have worn out as you appear to have the correct feeds to it. If you are tempted to open the alt to have a look at the brushes, be careful as incorrect assembly can cause serious damage as can incorrect re-assembly. You can simply replace the brushes but I would advise against it as the copper rings the brushes rub on (the slip rings) will also be worn and require replacement, this is difficult if you do not have the experience. Also, the bearings should also be replaced as they will no doubt be worn too. Altogether a specialist job, so grab yourself an new or exchange alternator. if you have to get a second hand unit, have it tested BEFORE you fit it..

The connector on the laptop that the AC adapter plugs into, is a DC Power Jack.
If your problem is indeed a reference to a Dell Inspiron 2600 series Notebook PC, if memory serves the DC Power Jack is soldered directly to the motherboard.
There are variations where the DC Power Jack is a separate unit, and connects to the motherboard via cables, (Wires), in some laptops.
Some laptops are poorly designed, in reference to how the DC Power Jack is attached to the motherboard.
With just the normal usage of plugging in, and unplugging, the solder joint/s of the DC Power Jack to motherboard may be cracked, and/or damage to the DC Power Jack itself may occur.
This will cause an intermittent connection, or no connection.
Most DC Power Jacks are composed of plastic, and have a metal shield.
An example of DC (Direct Current) may be viewed by examining a D cell battery, as used in a flashlight, or a laptop battery.
Stored DC electricity.
DC uses a Positive connection, and a Negative connection.
Viewing this one example of a DC Power Jack for a Dell Inspiron 2600 series Notebook PC,
http://www.discountelectronics.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=14629
,the pins, or leads sticking out of the bottom, go down through the motherboard, and are soldered.
You can also see the basic construction.
In the jack opening, the pin to the middle/top is the Positive connection.
One of the pins in the opening to the side, is the Negative connection.
As you can see the cost of the DC Power Jack is relatively inexpensive.
The cost of replacing it isn't however.
The laptop must be completely disassembled down to the bare motherboard in your hand.
(ALWAYS OBSERVE Anti-Static Precautions!)
This may cost $100 on up. Depends on your area, and the shop.

Under > Removing and Replacing Parts > System Board, you're shown how to disassemble the laptop.
You can try a precursory examination in diagnosing, and with the AC adapter removed, ('Natch), plus the battery removed, see if you can wiggle the body of the DC Power Jack around.
See if any of the pins in the opening wiggle around.
If so this is a direct indication of damage to the DC Power Jack, or it's pins solder connections have cracked.
{Solder joint/s from the pins to the motherboard have cracked}
If upon this simple test, or going further, and viewing the DC Power Jack with the motherboard removed, reveals no apparent damage, then it's time to suspect the charging circuit.
I await your findings, and/or additional questions, post back in a Comment.

u may have computer issues-scan for codes--chec all fuses including the maxifuse in engine area-some appear normal--a relay, module or wiring cud have flaws
