05 Ford Five Hundred charging system message?
05 Ford Five Hundred recently over night problems with the charging systems came up. The has a new (rebuilt) alternator and starter that were put in within the last 4 months. Battery is 18 months old (Motorcraft). All of the sudden on Monday freaking morning the dashboard has a message on it 'Check charging system', then the battery light comes on too. Here is the catch the car turns on and drives.
Took it to the repair shop that did the alternator. The man hooked up the tester to the battery to check the system. According to the tester everything is running fine. They will look into further this week. But what in the world would cause the message to come up and yet the car runs?
