You could have a bad diode in the ALT. It would either undercharge or overcharge.

Fords are famous for "dummy" lights just deciding to come on.
Give it a few thumps or if you can reach it.........kick it. eta Try taking off the Positive side of the battery while it is running. If it keeps running its a Ford. If it dies its a Ford. |

You probably have a bad diode in the alternator.

Bad idea on newer (and old) vehicles... You ever seen a resulting voltage arc from doing this? Let alone what happens to the person holding the cable when this is done and the voltage arc is made? Put a multimeter on the battery and don't trust the voltmeter in the cluster... That dummy light goes on when voltage drops below a certain point in the system. |

There may be a problem.. The voltage gauge on the dash is about as accurate as pissing on a electric fence and trying to guess the voltage...
Go to a good shop that sells good battries.. They usually will run a test on you charging system and batt. for free..... Then buy a Chevy |
