2006 Ford escape not charging
140

Asked by Russellstrempler Aug 29, 2017 at 02:21 PM about the 2006 Ford Escape XLT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 06 escape that's not charging.
I put a new alternator on after mine
went bad. No small feat let me tell you.
Still not charging so I took it back to the
auto parts and it checked out fine. I
reinstalled it, grumble grumble, and still
no charging. The fuse is good and the
fusible link is good. How do I test the
three wire plug to the alternator and
what should I be testing for?
