'07 F150 King Ranch Supercrew 4x4
So recently I upgraded the factory 110a alternator to the 130a. The new alt has an external regulator with additional wires than the factory set up (D style plug with 4th wire on a single pin as well as the main battery cable on the separate post vs the factory 3 wire oval plug and the main battery cable on the post).
My current issue is that, while I am seeing 13.9 to 14.5 volts at the battery and all of my accessories are working as intended, my battery light on the cluster stays on and the message center says "Check Charging system" every 5 minutes or so.
Any ideas?
