Please just look to see if you can Help me. Battery dead in the morning problem...
First of all I would like to say I have had this problem with two different batteries, so I do not think the problem is the battery as it was checked before I bought it.
What is happening is I have a 2.45 Amp Draw with the van off and no doors open. I pulled every fuse to see if I could eliminate the draw and it did not work. So I pulled the top wire on the Alternator and it dropped the draw from 2.45 amps to 2.* mA Could this be a voltage regulator problem? How do you test the voltage regulator? Any advice would be greatly apprecitated. This is a 1989 E-250 with 76,000 miles. The battery is dead every morning. Gus, God Bless America |

Yes, the voltage regulator/alternator is your problem. If the regulator is part of the alt., then I would look there first. If you have a remote mounted regulator (1989 was about the time Ford switched from externally mounted regulators), then the alternator itself is suspect.
