My Ford Focus from 2002,1.8tdci variant's alternator won't charge?
The problem started today, when I was about to start the car up, it didn't start! I pushed it and the car finnaly started, It worked normally until I reached home, I manually charged the battery. Now it's starting up but it doesn't charge. The charging battery light is on. What can I do to fix it?
Run the tests… Do the system prechecks like keith said. You may want to remove it and get it tested at the parts store. Bring your battery too. If its got full electrolyte and been charged, a simple load test takes just a minute. If you can change brushes there's often a repair kit at napa that you might be able to put in yourself… Ask
It needs an alternator. If the lights on.definitely alternator. But check first to see if alternator belt is on there. Check for loose connections at alternator and battery cables also.
- Will the old style 10SI delco alternator charge in both directions of rotation? I built this alternator in 1985 and adapted it to my 1950 Ford tractor when I converted the tractor from 6 to 12 volts. It just failed recently. Originally, 29 years ago, I seem to recall having a problem with the rotation as far as charging is concerned. Whatever problem I had, if any, was fixed b/c it has been charging since then. Looking at the drive pulley, it rotates clockwise. Is this an issue I will have to deal with? Or will it charge in both directions?
- Car won't crank with a new battery and alternator it has no electrical power what could the problem be? I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT that has been running for months when I tried starting it earlier today it would click once then nothing. Now it has no electrical power at all.
- Why won't my 2016 Ford Fusion charge my phone in the 12V port when the car isn't running? My old car could charge my phone without the car running in at least on of the outlets. Now in my new Ford Fusion now of the ports will let me charge my phone without the car running. Any way I can change a fuse to allow my car to use one of these ports without the car running?
