"...Because many of the new alternators are capable of charging at rates in excess of 110 Amps, the battery should be fully charged before use to avoid overheating the alternator by trying to use it as a battery charger. Alternators are NOT battery chargers, they are battery maintainers as well as supplying current for vehicle amenities. Symptoms of this type of damage are a burnt stator. In many newer vehicles, the alternator is located in an area that allows very little ventilation. The area around the rectifier on the back of the alternator plugs up with dirt and fibers, causing the unit to overheat. Rear alternator bearing failure may be caused by over tightening the belt or a seized belt tensioner. The bearing is retained in the alternator by either an aluminum ring or a plastic retainer, which under pressure, will collapse. Drive belt slippage may cause overheating and bearing damage. Thread damage on the rotor of the alternator is caused by improper pulley installation methods. Cracked terminal insulators are cuased by over tightening the terminal nuts. Improper changing of the alternator clock postion may result in broken brushes and brush holders..."

DTC P1359 Spark output circuit condition; ECM detected no SPOUT signal from distributor. Probable Cause: SPOUT connector missing; Open circuit condition; Ignition control module fault. 1. Check the Spark Output (SPOUT) connector near the Ignition Control Module (ICM) at the rear of driver side fender apron (near hood hinge) to see if the SPOUT connector is missing or is making poor contact to the connector. 2. If the SPOUT connector & connection appear to be in good condition, install a timing light onto #1 spark plug wire and check for timing advance at idle with the engine running. Ignition timing should indicate 10 degrees BTDC with the SPOUT connector removed but timing should then advance when the connector is plugged back in. 3. If there is no timing advance using a timing light, check the Pink (PK) wire at the ICM connection for a square-wave signal as the engine is running using a labscope. 4. If there is no signal present on the PK wire, check the PK wire between the ICM and PCM pin 50 for an open circuit. 5. If the circuit checks to be OK and ignition timing appears to be advancing over base timing with the SPOUT connector installed, clear the code, disconnect the voltage regulator at the alternator and drive the vehicle for several miles to check for the light to illuminate and the code to reset. 6. Check coil output of all individual spark plug wire ends to verify that spark will jump a 1/2-3/4" gap consistently and that it has a bluish tint of color to it. 7. If spark output is weak or erratic, replace the coil and re-check for the setting of the service code. 8. Also inspect all plug wires ends for potential pin-hole leaks that could allow spark to arc to the cylinder heads in the plug well. Run a grounded screw driver up and down the plug wire boot as the wire is connected to a spark tester to determine if any of the wires are faulty. 9. If timing advance appears to be working properly and there are no electrical issues related to the alternator, coil or plug wires, either the PCM or the ICM will need to be substituted to determine if one of them is causing the condition.

On-Board Welder Conversion w/GM Alternator
Source: by Badass (Eric) at Carolina Broncos
Overview; "...An alternator receives mechanical energy from the crankshaft through the belt (FEAD) and converts it to electrical energy, which is used to supply the vehicle's demands and charge the battery. The case of the alternator must provide a solid ground to the voltage regulator & the stator, so its mounting points must be clean, and the engine block must be well-grounded to the battery (-) post. The voltage regulator detects the key on through the I (Indicator) terminal, and uses battery power from the A terminal (via the brushes, & the slip rings) to produce a magnetic field within the Rotor's Field windings. The strength of this field is determined by the voltage regulator, based on the voltage between the A terminal and the alternator's case, which must be grounded to the battery (-) post to provide an accurate reading. The regulator controls output voltage by varying the ground signal applied to the F brush. Externally grounding this brush forces the alternator to its maximum output at that RPM (typically near 18V). The pulley transfers mechanical energy from the belt to the Rotor's shaft (supported by 2 bearings), which causes the magnetic field to rotate through the Stator's 3 windings. This moving magnetic field induces an alternating current within the Stator windings, proportional to the strength of the field. The Stator's alternating current passes through the Rectifier which lowers the voltage slightly and converts the AC to rough DC. The output is smoothed primarily by the battery (which is why a battery MUST be connected when the engine is running), and also by a capacitor (condenser) within the rectifier. One of the Stator's windings is connected to the S terminal so the voltage regulator can monitor the alternator output. The fan pulls hot air out of the case, causing cooler air to flow into the rear. The rear case & stator can be rotated (clocked) to 3 positions relative to the front case to orient the connectors for ease of installation. Most failure modes result in the voltage regulator grounding the I terminal, which illuminates the ALT bulb in the dash. To maintain normal operation in the event of bulb failure (open I circuit), a 300 Ohm resistor must be wired in parallel with the bulb (typically a common 194)..."

Parasitic Current Drain Test; "...you should be able to trace the "parasitic draw" on the battery in the normal way. Pull the (-) cable off & put an ammeter inline set to the 10A range (or higher if possible) to see how much current is being pulled out of the battery with the key OFF, the doors SHUT, & the hood light bulb REMOVED. Make sure absolutely NOTHING is turned on anywhere on the truck. If it registers 0 or below the meter's next range, switch it down a range until it shows some useful numbers. If it ends up being below 0.5A (500mA), then replace the battery. If it's above that, start by disconnecting all the alternator wires & see if the reading drops under 0.5A. Then move to the fuse block & pull them 1 at a time until there's a significant drop in the reading. That's the circuit that's draining the battery. Follow it to find the problem..."

Scan Tool Won’t Initiate Self-Tests; Vehicle Battery goes Dead, Short Solenoid Body Life, 4th Gear Starts in D/High Pressure may be caused by a malfunctioning Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Power Relay. The EEC Power Relay is controlled by 12 volts from the ignition switch and is responsible for supplying voltage to the computer and solenoid body. If the relay contacts stick open, the complaints are as follows: Gas engine applications won’t start, Diesel will start and run, but have 4th gear starts in D, 2nd gear in 2 and 1, and maximum line pressure. If the contacts are stuck closed, the complaints may be as follows: Both gas and diesel engine application: Scan tool won’t work, vehicle battery goes dead, short solenoid body life. Note: Watch for corroded relay terminals and connectors on 89-91 E-series vans.

Wiring Harness & Component Location Diagram, Ford Part Numbers, Depictions, etc. from Ford Workshop Manual in 96 Bronco, F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty Chassis Cab & Motorhome Chassis; use your Browser's SEARCH (or FIND) function to locate what you seek in each Diagram, such as Generator, because that is what Ford still describes as an alternator.
