Hi everyone.
I'm almost at my wit's end with this thing LOL. I just got in a brand new alternator and installed it on my 2003 Ford Expedition with a 5.4. The alternator is not charging the battery and there is a power draw instead of a charge. I checked the fuse numbered 106 for the charging system and is not blown in perfectly fine. There is the right amount of current running through the alternator wiring harness power cable going from the battery to the alternator. I think it might have to do with the 3 wire harness that clips into the alternator. It seems that there's a miscommunication between that wiring clip and the alternator and battery. I've gone through many different threads on different forms and have yet to find a diagnosis and solution for this problem. I've had my vehicle down for 2 weeks already and needed up and running ASAP!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
