My ‘01 LS Sport Premium is new to me, I love it & the 3.9 exhausted growl.
-I got the UCM message “Check Charging System” last week.
-I have read hundreds of LS owners with the same issue but NO-ONE has posted how the problem was finally resolved.
I wanted to share what I had done. Ford will assist with providing items or kits model numbers associated with TSB’s and recalls.
~Purchased Motorcraft alternator model provided.
~Purchased Ford vented battery matched to new alternator and specifications needed.
~Purchased Ford/Motorcraft alternator pigtail, electrical connector kit.

*This is the new replacement alternator connector kit from Ford.
*The brand new Ford/Motorcraft battery is Heavy F’n Duty to handle the varied influx of voltages and demands of the computer.
~*The Ford Motorcraft alternator was everyone’s choice to install, hands down, for variety of attributes.

I researched for hours and into days for an answer to how to resolve the dead batteries and very low voltage outputs, & unpredictable generator output.
I read several times where people were replacing 4 alternators and 2 batteries before debating a new reasonable Repair plan with verifiable testing.


PLEASE SHARE WITH ME HOW THIS CHARGING SYSTEM REPAIR IS RESOLVED!!!!!!
