HELP! - 78 Euro w/ 4.7L euro engine

after rereading this post I would check the the charge rate.
if its below 13.5 then you have a bad diode in the alternator.
If the gauge isnt working then this is another issue that needs to be looked at,
you might have a bad connection at the pod or the connection at the 14 pin connector under the hood. Check the voltage with the car running at the hot post

Hey Guys, do all the main wires run through that 14 pin connector?
If so that is the first place I would check for any other problems.
Low volts (voltage drop) or high resistance in the grounds.
I should check mine. (I'm so dam Lazy) don't forget to use dielectric grease after cleaning, before it goes together
