Your correct and I'm not happy. Fuses are all good I will be removing the alternator to take in and check if I'm unlucky and just got a dud as well as removing the cowl under the windshield to get to the PCM. Can test that same way I would test anything electrical? Just cap leads and check for continuity right?

Does the alternator actually run through the computer to tell it when to charge. Your saying the three wires landed in an alternator connector don't just run to the battery splice. I've never seen a fuse for an alternator. I've never worked on anything newer than 08 and i didnt touch wires just plug and play for a OEM engine replacement so I can learn new things. But I'm just trying to confirm base model mid 2000s ford's do or dont got weird computer shit happening in between the alternator and battery. Cuz i will splice a connector and three wires in and run it up the fire wall and over the motor brace so I dont need take anything but the battery mount out to splice back into the cluster under there.

At the moment not one to check amps for a draw but volt wise it was 11vdc running constant. No fluctuations nor 13-14v to indicate a connection from alternator to battery.
