Question something like freestyle wispy on 2000 Ford F-150??

This is my husband's truck, the battery pallid flashes and stays on, he had the alternator tested and it be fine, the battery be replaced, he has not replaced the serpetine belt, but that is to say my next step, if it is not that what could it be?

Battery keep dieing?



Answers:    Take it to a existing mechanic. Replacing the battery and serpentine belt indicates that someone doesn't hold a clue and will just hang on to replacing parts at random until you run out of money. The freestyle light self on usually means the alternator is doomed to failure. If you know the alternator is working when the light is on, consequently the body computer that works the light might be defective. The alternator output wants to be checked while the light is on. It could be intermittent.

Gas problem?


The red charging desk light is supposed to come on when the alternator is not generating a sufficient voltage. Your alternator might own passed the test, but is intermittently failing especially if it have over 130000 miles on it. Make sure the battery cable connections are removed and cleaned beside the wire brush type below. A Digital Multi-Meter DMM($15 Sears) is simple to use and check the alternator's charging voltage at rust yourself. Simply set it the the 20 Volt DC range and hold the DMM probes on the two mobile terminals. You should other read 13.5 volts or more up to 15 volts maximum with the engine idle and no big power accessories on surrounded by the car.
