DISCLAIMER: I know very little about wiring
This is on a 2000 Ranger 3.0 flexfuel
Four questions (maybe)
1. Should I be able to get continuity between the "A" terminal (a yellow and white wire) and the battery? How about between the terminal and where the 30amp alternator fuse plugs in on the in-engine compartment fuse box?
If so...
2. There is a black box (not sure what to call it) on top of my intake manifold near the firewall that looks like you can disconnect the wiring harness at that point from the other half. Now, I know that none of you have ever done this, but sometimes in my zeal to fix something I end up breaking it instead. Not sure how to proceed on this so how do you disconnect it? I unscrewed the bolt on the back but all the catches on the sides look like they want to break before the come on done.
3. Like the previous question, how do I open my in-engine compartment fusebox without breaking it?
4. I ask all this because it does not appear to be a alternator, battery or cable problem so I am guessing that it is lack of power to the voltage regulator. Any better ideas?
