That Ford Guy
My step Dad's ranger started turning the alternator light on, so he replaced the alternator with his spare. Now it's turning the light on above idle. He did the pull the positive cable while running test, and the motor sputters but doesn't die. Now the ****ed up part, the windshield wipers go on high by themselves when you pull the positive cable... :eeek:
I started going through the harness and found the main power wire from the solenoid to the ignition switch had melted down and was wrapped with tape by the previous owner... :shaking: Replaced it. Found some other fuseable links that had been replaced. Ripped lots of retarded stereo wiring out. Though we were good to go, same issue.
He's gonna have the alternator tested today.
**** previous owners who butcher wiring in the ass with a hot poker.
Any other ideas?
