Recently had a battery or alternator dilemma, battery charges fine but alternator failed bench test at parts store. However it was delivering some charge, just very inadequate. I suspected that the battery was not charging at all due to the way voltage dropped on a multimeter but neglected that notion and bought a new alternator anyway. Welp, same problem. All connections to alternator seem fine and it's receiving input power as required.
I'm still at a bit of a loss but I understand there's a "mega fuse" beyond the B+ lead from alternator somewhere. Any clue where that might be on a 99 ford ranger 4.0? and if that's the problem, should I worry about why this happened or do these fail sometimes?
