Alternator fuse. Look in owners manual for location of fuse. If no manual Google year,make and model of vehicle.

Check the fuse as stated above or you could have a bad connection from the wires to the battery. A loose connection will cause the battery to die.
Had the same problem, Turned out it was my back wiper trying to run as if it was left turned on. Because the wiper was constantly trying to run, it drained the battery.
A few weeks ago my battery light came on on my way home then eventually after a hour if that it nust cut off when i stopped at a stop sign....got a jump start and it made it two blocks....then it cut off again....then it made it maybe a half a block before cutting off again....got another jump start and it didnt even make a half a block....try to jump it again....it crunk made it a few inches before cutting off again end up having to get it pushed home. So once making it home the guy that pushed it home said it prolly was the alternater since the battery light stayed on....so bout a week later someone i knew took out the alternater took it to the part store they ran all test and said nothing was wrong with it and to check the battery cables changed them got the battery charged wouldnt takea charge got a new battery and the cranked but only stayed on a few seconds put gas in it and the samethomg happend wouldnt stay crunk and the battery light still on,what else could it be?
I have a 2000 navigator I replaced alternator and new battery but for some reason it will not stay charged does any one know what I need to look for also where would the ground be for main charge for truck
I drive a 2009 Lincoln MKX my battery light came on my dash board. I bought a alternator and decided to try to save some money so I bought a Ford part. Battery light still on after replacing alternator. I had to order part from the dealership for Lincoln for my car to be fixed. I has to spend a lot more money buying a Lincoln alternator part. But the problems fixed.

Did you ever get fixed..cause now have my 2001 Lincon navigator not keeping a charge and it has new alternator new battery won't keep charge..can you help me
check the fuse-able link in the rectangle shape housing that goes from the battery to the alternator. I had the same problem and i diagnosed it with a volt meter...main small cable on/ off charge send(red/yellow) that goes to the plug on the alternator was burned...I ended up removing all fusable links (3 in total) and using a 150amp fuse block that protects both the on wire and the main cable.....my problem was solved. clear any remaining codes.....fords retarded design is just that.....fusable links are pointless when they should be replaced with a 110 amp fuse or higher.
06 navigator. I replaced the alternator and now my traction control light stays on and my 4x4 lights blink on ocxasionally. And it studders a bit when driving it
